Celebrating and Honoring Black American Filmmaker, Producer, Documentarian @raymondclambert in his World premiere Documentary #PUNCH9 (#HaroldWashington) This story is long overdue and as most Black stories whitewashed and omitted from the history the made America possible. Thank you to you, #SonyaJackson and Director #JoeWinston for telling our stories. Harold Washington, the immortal Legend...👑 I will never forget how deeply his mayoral triumph and his "tragic" untimely murder death impacted my life. Forever changed. Go❣ "In this epic story of American politics, race, and triumph against all odds, director Joe Winston chronicles the captivating rise, surprising reign, and enduring legacy of Chicago’s first African American Mayor, Harold Washington. Steeped in archival footage capturing a 1980s Chicago rife with corruption and discrimination, Punch 9 features candid interviews with Jesse Jackson, Vice Mayor Richard Mell, and others on the frontlines and in the backrooms of power as it follows the charismatic politician’s shrewd maneuverings, stinging betrayals, and unlikely victories. Inspiring and compelling, Washington’s journey continues to resonate for a city and nation confronting the same enduring social issues."
