The full program will run approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, followed by a conversation with the featured filmmakers. Featuring: • Way Back Home (Dir. Chad B. Hamilton) • Skate (Dir. Zoë Hodge) • Just a Girl (Dir. Lina Green) • From Rodeo to Polo: The 1st HBCU Polo Team (Dir. Kendi King) • Jelly (Dir. Anndi Jinelle Liggett) The event is free with RSVP.
