Screening and Panel Discussion: 随时打电话给我, I'm Not Leaving the House (2022)和 不要安静地走 (2021)

Thu, March 23 @ 7:00pm, Gannett Aud - 全球官网电子游戏大学

Two powerful new documentaries, both distributed by PBS’s prestigious POV -

不要安静地走 (2021) follows Ady Barkan (Politico's "Most Powerful Activist in America") as his life is upended when he is diagnosed with ALS. After a confrontation with powerful Senator Jeff Flake on an airplane goes viral, catapulting him to national fame, Ady and a motley crew of activists ignite a once-in-a-generation political movement, barnstorming across the country to empower people to confront their elected officials with emotional, personal stories to demand health-care justice. 

随时打电话给我, I’m Not Leaving the House (2022) presents an even more intimate slice of life in the shadow of big political news, as two 乌克兰 sisters – one recently emigrated to Brooklyn, the other in war-besieged Odessa – long to be reunited and reminisce about their homeland. 

后面跟着一个Q&A with the Skidmore alums who created and worked on them: Sanjna Selva ’21 (随时打电话给我); 亚当·西蒙19岁 (不要安静地走); 艾斯特·格罗斯16岁 (不要安静地走); and Amanda Roddy ’14 (不要安静地走)

Family, football and history come to life in an intimate portrait of the Dean family, longtime residents of the historic town of Pahokee, Florida.

Told through stories that transcend space and time, 走出泥潭 presents a community, and a family, that resists despair with love, remaining fiercely self-determined, while forging their own unique narrative of Black achievement.
