Description

NYC PREMIERE The dynamic co-founders of Black Voters Matter, Cliff Albright, April England Albright, and LaTosha Brown, travel across the country in their beloved “Blackest bus in America” to mobilize Black communities ahead of the 2020 election. Undeterred by COVID-19 and voter suppression tactics, they empower grassroots activists with passion, courage, and heart. Punctuated by heart-wrenching incidents of racially-based violence, this energetic and inspiring documentary celebrates the power of community, culture, and relentless determination in the fight for democracy. - Karen McMullen

The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director/producer Daresha Kyi, producer Trevite Willis, and film participants Latosha Brown and Cliff Albright.

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.
