An untold story of ties between South Asians and African-Americans in the U.S.
In this documentary, an unlikely quest takes an African-American woman from New Orleans across deep divides of culture to India, in search of her family’s past. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Kavery Kaul, who dedicates the 7 pm, September 10 screening to long-time friend and colleague, Professor Emeritus of Media Studies at The New School and Founder of the Creatively Speaking Film Series, Michelle Materre.
Join the School of Media Studies & Media Management Professors Neyda Martinez and Mark Walton who will remember our beloved Michelle Materre with director Kavery Kaul in an intimate conversation after the screening followed by a Q&A with the audience.
A discounted ticket price of $13 per ticket is available for the 7 pm screening on September 10 to New School Community Members. To receive the discount, you must present a valid New School ID at the Quad Cinema box office at the time of purchase.
We mourn the passing of the distinguished member of The New School community, Associate Professor of Media and Film, Michelle Materre.
