This program is dedicated to BIPOC resilience. We endure bias and turn it into beauty, pain into progress, slavery into strength, discrimination into dance, mistreatment into music and marches. Yet, after everything we’ve been through - we hold our crowns high; and still, we rise.

Unless We Dance

CONTENT WARNING:
Bonays, an Afro dance teacher, undertakes an initiative to rescue young people from the crime that stalks Quibdó, a city with the highest homicide rates in Colombia. This is how Black Boys Chocó emerged, a dance company where hundreds of young people face brutal destinies through a passion. UNLESS WE DANCE portrays union and dance as the greatest expression of shielding the Afro people, it is a tribute to their act of resilience and to all the lives that have been lost along the way.

Asylum

CONTENT WARNING:
ASYLUM is a character driven, self-acceptance drama. With a unique African perspective, it mirrors the best of intimate, nuanced coming-out movies like "Call Me by Your Name" and "Blackbird".

So You Wanna Vogue Huh?!

CONTENT WARNING:
SO YOU WANNA VOGUE HUH?! is an educative Ballroom documentary. An antidote to the misinformation that comes with the re-explosion of ballroom into the public consciousness. A venom against the appropriation of the culture. Outspokenly black and femme, SO YOU WANNA VOGUE HUH?! centers the creators of the scene, namely the black trans femmes. Even though in a scripted environment, the film depicts the organic relationships and conversations that the ballroom holds. With a juggernaut ballroom cast, Legendary Pioneering Mother Lasseindra Ninja, Mother Naimah ex Milan, Princess Gaby Vineyard and Dutch Prince Perry Ninja.
