The BLACK DOCUMENTARY COLLECTIVE celebrates 10 year!
We celebrated our partnership with The Black Documentary Collective during their 10th Anniversary with a rare screening of BDC founder St. Clair Bourne’s “The Black and the Green” on June 9th. Bourne’s timely 1983 documentary chronicled the journey of five black American activists on a fact-finding trip to Belfast, Northern Ireland. They found that many Catholics there had been influenced by the civil rights movement. Having such luminaries of the Civil Rights Movement in the room as Sandy Boyer, Rev. Herbert Daughtry, Matt Jones and Lou Potter in the theater was a treasure. And fittingly, the next day the British officially acknowledged the wrong-doing on behalf of the British forces in the events known as Bloody Sunday.
