WORLD PREMIERE In a political landscape marked by racialized power structures, an Algerian-American filmmaker raised in Canada decides to turn the lens on his family. His ancestors, he discovered, did great things—and owned slaves. What We Inherit unpacks this complicated legacy and directly engages with descendants of the people held captive by the filmmaker’s ancestors. - Bedatri D. Choudhury
The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Kacim Steets Azouz, producer Frederic Bohbot, and film protagonists Diana McKinney and Dorothy Steets.
