About
Adam and Zack Khalil’s film screens with an artist dialogue and audience Q&A.
The 80-minute film engages ancestry and institutions that claim authority over history, then extends those questions into a live conversation. Filmmaker Adam Khalil, producer Jacque Clark, historian Veronica Pasfield and moderator Debra Yepa-Pappan make this far richer than a standard screening.
