A Thousand Midnights N/A

From 1915 to 1970, six million African Americans relocated from the rural South to the cities of the North, Midwest, and West fleeing racial terror and pursuing economic opportunity for their families. Contemplative and experimental, A Thousand Midnights chronicles the manifestation of the economic and social histories of Black Americans who came to the north during the Great Migration.

We All We Got N/A

We All We Got captures the poetic language of the streets: police helicopters flying over the city, music popping out of cars, people talking shit on the street corners, ambulances on the run, and preachers hollering for the violence to stop after another young man is senselessly gunned down in the streets of Chicago.
