African World Visions Film Series
TransAfrica Forum’s African World Visions Film Series presents "Man by the Shore" (Haiti/France, 1993). The film by Raoul Peck tells the story of a Haitian girl who discovers the truth about her father’s role as a general during Haiti's repressive Francois Duvalier regime.
This presentation is co-sponsored by Blackfilmmakers.net and Erico Cafe (1334 U St. NW; U Street/Cardozo Metro), where the film will be screened Thursday through Saturday, Nov. 20-22, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 23, at 4:30 p.m. Admission is $10, except on Sunday, when students with a valid ID can get in for $5. Portions of the proceeds will go to TransAfrica Forum.
