If you share my love for documentary films, check out the 2025 @docnycfest, November 12-20! Of course I am particularly interested in documentaries centered on Black artists, activists, culture and voices, so I am excited about seeing "Black Is Beautiful: The Kwame Brathwaite Story," which premieres tonight, Nov. 13; and "The Toni Cade Bambara School of Organizing," which received best documentary awards at this year's @blackstarfest.
Go to www.docnyc.net for the full schedule of screenings, special events and tickets.
Save the date! DOC NYC Returns Nov 12 - 30, 2025.
Reposted from @blackisbeautifuldoc Our documentary feature, BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL: THE KWAME BRATHWAITE STORY will have its U.S. premiere at @docnycfest Thursday, Nov. 13th!
Join Director Yemi Bamiro, Kwame and Robynn Brathwaite of @kwamebphoto, and The Grandassa Models for a special evening at SVA Theatre.
Everyone knows the phrase “Black is Beautiful,” but few know of the man who helped popularize 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.
