Selina Lewis Davidson and Macky Alston, friends and filmmaking partners for 25 years, explore the possibility of reparations in the U.S. They investigate grassroots initiatives aimed at healing the historic harms of slavery and Native American genocide, while posing challenging questions about what is possible in families, communities, and the nation. Selina's roots take her to Louisiana and Macky's to Georgia.
Dr. Jeffery Anderson from ULM and Davidson join Cory Crowe to talk about the film and upcoming ancestry events in northeast Louisiana.
The fill will be shown on Friday, September 27th, at 6.30 pm in Monroe, Louisiana, where Selina’s father’s family is from at the Cinemark Tinseltown West Monroe 17.
On Saturday and Sunday of the same weekend, the Pink House Pop Up Reparative Genealogy Festival will be held at community centers across the city of Monroe.
