​

Much to report.  It's been busy for us.  We have been looking for distribution, new screening opportunities and building a partnership with Wiley College in order to connect with HBCUs across the country.

 

We had our World Premier Screening in September:

​

RESURRECTING LOVE

Morehouse College Human Rights Film Festival

Wednesday, September 18th, 4 PM

Shirley A. Massey Executive Conference Center

(Conf. Rooms C+F)

​

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

​The screening was hugely successful.  China and Alexis were there on our behalf.  The question and answer afterwards was lively and inspiring.  Here is one testimonial (of many) from that screening.

Unfortunately we did not have one of our filmmakers there, but the Festival's Artistic Director Kelly DeVine wrote us:

 

"...the folks in the audience were deeply moved by the

film and continued to discuss the topic after the Q&A

had ended .... Again, the film resonated deeply with those in

attendance and I sensed that the film moved them to pursue

the issues further in Florida as there is a bill proposed to

address similar issues in the state. Many thanks for so

generously sharing this important film with our community."

 

To remind you, here are very typical reactions to the film that we have encountered at each and every screening.

And, hoping you are loving visual demonstrations, we have just finished a video which demonstrates the voices of young people in our film.  For those of you who haven't seen Resurrecting Love, this will give you another perspective.

Love Cemetery, the small, two-hundred year old African American cemetery in East Texas represents the endangered landscape of Black burial grounds all over the United States, graveyards that today are getting built over, cut up, covered by freeways and dividing neighborhoods.  With your help, we can offer our documentary on Love Cemetery to audiences countrywide to help stem the tide.

​

We, like the rest of America it seems, are fundraising right now.   We have just submitted a grant request to Black Public Media.  This month or next, Producer Alexis Yancey will be screening a shortened version of the film at the National Association of Black Journalists (where she is a NABJ Hall of Famer) in a webinar.  We remain scheduling Church and Living Room screenings.  If you think we are worthy, please consider a tax deductible donation now.  We need the help getting on screens across America and the World.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​Or schedule a screening in your community that could help us raise the funds to spread our influence around the country.  In your living room, at a local school or community center, or your church.  

​

Thank you one and all for your ongoing and heartening support!​

In solidarity,
