Documentary & dialogue ‘Crossing Borders: American Textures’ (English)

We will watch American Textures. This “78 minute documentary by Crossing Borders Films, follows six young Americans of Black, White and Latino origin on a road trip through the southern United States to confront race through dialogue. Their journey moves them to push through the wall of silence/fear/discomfort that surrounds race in America and face the presence of segregation, bias, and blindness, not only in US society, but also inside themselves. Their courage, vulnerability and honest interactions” are input for our dialogue afterwards, in which we openly discuss topics that are often silenced or backed away from. Ready for new insights and open to start a new, respectful, conversation even though it might be somewhat scary to discuss a loaded topic? Join us!
