Telling the truth isn’t always easy, but with the rise of misinformation and fake news, being honest is more important now than ever before. But what distinguishes between fact and fiction? This programme features animated documentaries and films based on true events, alongside films that focus on the nature of truth; shining a light on the lesser known struggles of immigration, calling out racial segregation, and tell honest stories about complicated feelings and relationships. Come join us to help unearth the truth that will set the world free.
Richard Rothstein, author of 'The Color of Law', narrates a fast-paced motion design film that illustrates the forgotten history of how all of the nation’s metropolitan areas became segregated by “de jure” segregation, racially explicit policy on the part of the federal, state and local governments. 'Segregated By Design' explores different subjects pertaining to residential segregation like many New Deal policies, racial zoning techniques like Redlining, the creation of slums, blockbusting, slum clearance, state-sponsored violence, the immense wealth gap between white families and African-American families, the effects of segregation and the constitutional remedy for the unconstitutional segregation.
