Marcus Garvey: Look For Me In The Whirlwind Explores The Life Of The Controversial Black Leader Who

Based on the television series of the same name, the radio program is rooted in the history of slavery and its impact on Americans, black and white, in the struggle to forge a new nation. The themes of freedom, national identity, inclusion/exclusion, leadership and resistance, and sense of personal worth are one which are still being grappled with. The series takes a hard look at our shared history and links current events to their historical roots in a way that informs and enriches the national discussion of what it means to be an American.

This documentary tells the life story of the Jamaican immigrant who, between 1916 and 1921, built the largest black mass movement in world history. It explores Garvey's dramatic successes and failures before his fall into obscurity. Among the film's most powerful sequences are interviews with people who witnessed the Garvey movement first hand more than 80 years ago. These interviews communicate the appeal of Garvey's revolutionary ideas to a generation of African Americans, and reveal how he invested hundreds and thousands of black men and women with a new found sense of pride.

Nat Turner A Troublesome Property is a groundbreaking exploration of slavery, race, violence and memory in American life. The film examines the Nat Turner slave rebellion of 1831, the most significant slave rebellion in our nation's history, as both an historical event and a subject of historical memory. The filmmakers have interviewed a broad range of contemporary black and white descendants, historians, writers, and artists. The film weaves selections from these interviews into a rich narrative reflecting the multifaceted legacy of Nat Turner in America today. The film also presents Nat Turner as an important figure in American historical memory through selected dramatic recreations based on images and words found in folklore, poetry, novels and plays from 1831 to the present. We explore how the publication in 1967 of William Styron's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Confessions of Nat Turner, incited a bitter debate over issues of race and memory. The passions released by this fictional depiction of a major African American leader by a major white Southern writer are still felt today.
