    Description
    This course offers an examination of African American life and culture as depicted on film and video, with emphasis on independent black filmmakers, issues and themes in contemporary films, and impact of films on African American society. In this course, we will examine how films, both feature length and documentary style, can help tell the history of a people. How do they help us understand, through the medium of art, the experience of Black people in the United States, and around the world?
