My Father's Land - documentary screening
Join AWP for an (In)Justice for All Film Festival screening of My Father's Land, a documentary that tells the story of Papa Jah, a humble gardner returning to his native Haiti to reunite with his 103 year old father after living for forty years in the Bahamas.
Juxtaposed against the strikingly rich visual texture of the Caribbean, this travel adventure story entertains through humor, intimate cultural spaces and vivid landscapes, while touching on socio-economic complexities of immigration, culture and identity.
6:30-7:30 - screening of My Father's Land
7:30 - 8:30 - panel discussion, TBD
Directed and written by:
Tyler Johnston
Miquel Galofré
My Father's Land was a winner at the Toronto Black Film Festival and the Amnesty International Human Rights Award and an official selection at the Montreal Black Film Festival, the Fort Lauderdale Film Festival, and the Los Angeles Black Film Festival.
The (In)Justice for All Film Festival is screening films throughout Chicago April 20 - 29, 2017. For more information, please visit www.injusticeforallff.com.
