“Fly Me to the Moon” screening and discussion
“Fly Me to the Moon” is a not-yet-released, feature-length documentary on the Caribbean landscape, where bauxite has been mined for the advancement of space travel and other modern aspects of life for more than 100 years. Through archival footage and interviews with Jamaican farmers, activists and politicians, the film shows the legacy of toxic waste and social injustice that continues to haunt the region today.
This work-in-progress screening will be the first public presentation of the film and will be followed by a discussion with the filmmaker, Esther Figueroa.
The Black Film/Center Archive is an event sponsor. The screening is free, but ticketed.
