About the documentary:
The decades-long debate surrounding reparations is fraught, mired in racial tension and the semantics of restorative justice. While the national conversation remains stalled due to legislative inaction, communities across the country examine their histories and take it upon themselves to arrange their own form of reparations. This detailed investigation of restitution presents accounts of everyday people confronting the past and exploring the
possibilities of wealth transfer.

Engage in meaningful discussions on economic justice
Connect with community members passionate about social change
Gain insights from history and personal narratives

The event is free and open to the public. We hope to see you there!
