Hoops, Hopes & Dreams
The new film by artist Glenn Kaino animates the untold story about how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and an all-star team of civil rights activists took to basketball courts to rally young voters while winning hearts of communities, and how their strategy has reverberated in contemporary politics. A conversation with the director and special guests follows the screening.
DCP, color, 20 min. Director: Glenn Kaino. With: Jerry West and Jemele Hill
