Community Healing Film Screening & Discussion With Cortez Mack

We have an exciting announcement about our next library screening!
On Saturday, June 1st, at 1:00 p.m. we will host the local filmmaker Cortez Mack at the Douglass Branch as he screens his three short films about mental health and healing in the black community.
Program:
- "Bobby," a short film about dementia and mental health awareness.
- "Dinner Table," a short film about the disconnection of the family.
- "Splitting Image," a short film about a father-son relationship.
The films will be followed by a discussion with Cortez Mack.
This program is proudly presented by the African American Heritage Committee of the Chicago Public Library and by Mental Filmness, a Chicago-based film festival about mental health.
