Black Films Matter
The CU Independent shares information about the group of films programmed by the International Film Series to commemorate Black History Month and the historic collaboration with the Center for African and African American Studies.
"This Black cinema series was, in part, inspired by the community’s enthusiastic reaction to the showing of the documentary “This is Not Who We Are” last semester at the Muenzinger Auditorium. This film, directed by Beret Strong and Katrina Miller, depicts the struggles of being Black in the predominantly white Boulder community.
Seeing this event unfold, Jason Phelps, the program manager for IFS, and Reiland Rabaka, the director for the Center for African and African American Studies, hatched a plan."
