WEST BRATTLEBORO — All Souls Church (Unitarian Universalist) will continue its ongoing film series “Looking Inward at White Power and Privilege” with a screening of the Academy Award-nominated film 13TH on Sunday, June 10, at noon, preceded at 11:30 by a simple lunch to which all are invited.
New York Times film critic Manohla Dargas said of this 2016 film that it is ”as timely as the latest Black Lives Matter protest.”
“Powerful, infuriating and at times overwhelming, Ava DuVernay's documentary 13TH will get your blood boiling and tear ducts leaking. It shakes you up, but it also challenges your ideas about the intersection of race, justice, and mass incarceration in the United States,” Dargas wrote.
As befits the subject matter, much of the content and many of the images in this film are disturbing, and it is not appropriate for children. Child care will be available so that parents can experience the movie and participate in the discussion that will follow.
