Sixteen-year-old Clifford tries to fill the void of his incarcerated father\, 13-year-old Ahmani struggles with the aftermath of a homeless childhood\, and 13-year-old Nicholas grapples with episodes of depression. When the boys sign up for the after-school program Wilderness Works\, they quickly begin to unpack the negative pressures that surround them in their day-to-day lives.CO-PROGRAMMING: These virtual screenings and the roundtable are co-sponsored by the Ackland Film Forum and the Department of English and Comparative Literature in celebration of the department’s 225th anniversary. \nTHE UNDRGROUND RAILROAD (Series | Amazon): Across his three feature films to date (Medicine for Melancholy\, Moonlight\, and If Beale Street Could Talk)\, Barry Jenkins has devised a new cinematic vocabulary for the portrayal of Black experience in the United States. With sumptuous imagery and hypnotic soundscapes\, Jenkins has embraced aesthetic beauty as a strategy for addressing the past and present injustices that bear on the lives of marginalized characters. His 2021 miniseries\, The Underground Railroad is adapted from Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name. A haunting\, atmospheric account of two runaway slaves in the Antebellum South\, the series is Jenkins’ most daring directorial work yet. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:UNC Process Series' Remembrance and Renewal Storytelling Festival (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Recognizing the power and potential of storytelling in its many forms at this pivotal moment in American culture and politics\, this 5-day festival draws on the skills of some of the nation’s most prominent and diverse storytelling practitioners.

Can storytelling be an effective platform to battle systemic racism? \nThe international\, national and local list of storyteller are an exciting collection of artists who are currently defining the art form: Andrew Ali Aghapour\, Charlotte Blake Alston\, Brenda Wong Aoki\, Milbre Burch\, Jasmin Cardenas\, Sam Gates\, Jaki Shelton Green\, Kaya Littleturtle\, Ashley Lumpkin\, Senora Lynch\, Daniel Reyes\, Carlos Robson\, Simon Tam\, Dovie Thomason and UNC student storytellers. \n\n\n	Related
