Black on Screen: A Century of Radical Visual Culture is being presented by New York Library's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Cinema.
On Wednesday, September 24, a screening of Cuban Roots / Bronx Stories, an Afro-Cuban family's history of migration from Jamaica to Cuba to the South Bronx is reflected.
This is the 25th anniversary of Pam Sporn's Cuban Roots / Bronx Stories distributed by Third World Newsreel. Restored in 4K, the film documents an Afro-Cuban family's personal history. The Foster family recounts pivotal historical moments in the documentary from the Bay of Pigs, the Vietnam War, and settling into a multilingual, radically diverse Bronx neighborhood.
The film will be followed by a Q&A with director Pam Sporn and writer Rosed Serrano. The 57 min film will screen at 6:30pm and the event will go until 8:30pm. The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture is located at 515 Malcolm X Blvd, New York 10030. The event is free and open to the public. Reserve your free ticket here:
