From the director of The Black Power Mixtape, CONCERNING VIOLENCE is a bold and fresh visual narrative on Africa, based on newly discovered archive material covering the struggle for liberation from colonial rule in the late ’60s and ’70s, accompanied by text from Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth.
CONCERNING VIOLENCE co-producer Danny Glover will participate in a Q&A after the 7:20 PM screening at the Music Hall on Friday, December 12. Robin Kelly, the Gary B. Nash Professor of American History of UCLA, will moderate. Professor Kelley’s most recent book, Africa Speaks, America Answers: Modern Jazz in Revolutionary Times, explores the relationship between jazz and Africa in the era of decolonization and Civil Rights.
