RIC Film Series: Mangrove (Small Axe)

April 4, 2023 @ 7:00 pm 9:30 pm

Join the third event in the Program in Racism, Immigration, and Citizenship’s spring 2023 film series “Global Views on Racism and Resistance,” a screening of Steve McQueen’s 2020 film Mangrove, in his Small Axe collection.

The film will be introduced by Prof. Robbie Shilliam (Political Science).

Mangrove tells this true story of The Mangrove Nine, who clashed with London police in 1970. The trial that followed was the first judicial acknowledgment of behavior motivated by racial hatred within the Metropolitan Police.

Co-sponsored by the Center for Africana Studies

Location: Mudd 26
