Join the National Museum of African Art for screenings of and discussion with Ethiopian independent filmmaker Haile Gerima! Gerima’s acclaimed films cross geographic and historic boundaries to explore complex themes of identity, dislocation and belonging, and the struggle for political change.
Each screening will be followed by a panel discussion with activists, actors, journalists, and scholars. Come to one event, or come to them all! For descriptions of each film and panelists, visit the links below.
