Synopsis: Beautifully layered and expressionistic, After Sherman is a story about inheritance and the tension that defines our collective American history, especially Black history. The filmmaker follows his father, a minister, in the aftermath of a mass shooting at his church in Charleston, South Carolina to understand how communities of descendants of enslaved Africans use their unique faith as a form of survival as they continue to fight for America to live up to its many unfulfilled promises to Black Americans.
Immediately following the screening we will host a discussion facilitated by Working Films with the filmmaker Jon-Sesrie Goff and several community leaders. Stay tuned for updates about special guests.
This screening is a co-presentation organized by UNCW Office of the Arts, WHQR Public Radio, Cucalorus, NC Arts Council, Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers, South Arts, National Endowment of the Arts, and Working Films.
