Members' Sunday Film Club: Black is Beautiful: The Kwame Brathwaite Story
Special screening of the powerful documentary celebrating Black history, art and culture, followed by a Q&A with Kwame S. Brathwaite, director Yemi Bamiro and producer Joanna Boateng.
Everyone knows the phrase “Black is Beautiful,” but few know of the man who helped popularise it. Little known Harlem based photographer - freedom fighter and activist - Kwame Brathwaite took 500,000 photos across his 70-year career, always devoted to celebrating the joy and beauty of African American life. This feature documentary tells the story of Kwame and the “Black is Beautiful” movement.
Join us for a special screening of this documentary, which dares to present an uplifting, cinematic and bold story rooted in blackness that will leave audiences feeling energised and inspired.
The film will be followed by a Q&A with Kwame’s son, Kwame S. Brathwaite, the film's director Yemi Bamiro, and producer Joanna Boateng.
