THE PARIS 3
(Director, Miles Hanon; Writers/Producers, Karrié Claybrook, Clay Thompson; Producer, Tom Livingston) The untold story of three young Black girls who, in 1961, made a bold decision to sit down at a "whites only" counter in Paris, Kentucky. Their actions ignited a year-long boycott that ultimately led to the hiring of their town’s first Black cashier. A special Q&A will follow the screening with all three women featured in the film, moderated by Karrié Claybrook, granddaughter of one of The Paris 3 and a producer on the project.
COLBERT: ALL STUDENTS CAN LEARN
(Director/Writer/Producer, Mike Day; Writer/Producer, Dan Robinson; Producers: Kris Katrosh, J’onnelle Colbert-Diaz) Almost 70 years after Fayetteville Arkansas Public School’s integration, Dr. John L Colbert, the city’s first African American superintendent, cements his historic legacy with a school named after him. Produced by DAYVISION and New Harvest Creative.
