Join us for a film screenig and Q&A with filmmaker Ngozi Onwurah! We will be watching Welcome II the Terrordome, a 1995 Afrofuturist film exploring themes around the history of slavery to present-day police brutality.
Refreshments provided! Free and open to the public.
“Onwurah’s fusion of political commentary and genre spectacle looks positively prescient, and her ability to build an entire cosmology that connects the history of slavery to present-day police brutality is nothing less than visionary.” - The Criterion Channel
