Juneteenth Documentary Showing & Discussion: “After Sherman”

Join UNC Greensboro’s African American and African Diaspora Studies (AADS) program for a special documentary showing in honor of Juneteenth.

About the film, “After Sherman:” Returning to the coastal South Carolina land that his family purchased after emancipation, filmmaker Jon-Sesrie Goff’s desire to explore his Gullah/Geechee roots transforms into a poetic investigation of Black inheritance, trauma, and generational wisdom, amidst the violent tensions that define America’s collective history. 

Media Studies professor Hassan Pitts and UNCG students will engage in a discussion of the film immediately following the viewing.

Attendees will have a chance to view the ongoing art exhibits following this event.

This film is viewable on Kanopy though the University Library. Watch the trailer at pbs.org.
