Description

NYC PREMIERE The Toni Cade Bambara School of Organizing celebrates the life of the dynamic author, editor, and activist. From her Harlem roots to her role as a self-described “culture worker,” Toni’s wit and fierce commitment to change come alive through rare footage and the voices of those who knew her best, including Toni Morrison and filmmaker Haile Gerima. Set to a cool jazz score, this stylish documentary honors an unsung icon whose legacy still resonates today. - Karen McMullen

The first and second screenings will be followed by a Q&A with director/producer Louis Massiah, and director/editor Monica Henriquez.

All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
