A BLACK HISTORY MONTH SPECIAL
THE POWER OF FILM: THE HERO WITHIN
Join Brother Hakim "The Film Doctor" as he applies his celluloid scalpel to expose the internal movie contents of Hollywood mainstream films and how they can be used as a teaching tool.
Movies - just popular entertainment or vehicles for cultural, historical, and subliminal messages?
Are our historical and social messages portrayed in films without us realising it?
A thought-provoking and highly interactive presentation. Bring an open mind and a pen and pad!!
