Ossining Documentary & Discussion Series' February Event

Ossining Documentary & Discussion Series, Presents:

Brothers of the Black List ~ Thurs. Feb.12th @ 6:30 PM

20+ years ago, a woman in upstate New York reports an attempted rape by a young black man who cut his hand during the altercation. While looking for suspects, police contact officials at nearby SUNY Oneonta. A school administrator hands over names and residences of 125 black male students. Those students are subsequently tracked down and interrogated under a presumption of guilty until proven innocent.

In Brothers of the Black List, director Sean Gallagher tracks this story of racism that became the longest litigated civil rights case in American history. An emotional story of social justice, this unsettling documentary serves as a cautionary tale of equal rights gone wrong and is relevant today more than ever. Following the Screening, join us for Conversation! We’ve got a terrific trio together as Panelists including the Director, and two esteemed educators, one who is also one of the film’s subjects. As always, FREE! The Program Starts at 6:30 & seating begins at 6:15 at the Ossining Library’s Magnificent Budarz Theatre. For MORE INFO:
