Representation in Cinema | The Harder They Fall

Описание: Representation in Cinema is a series, hosted by Our Voices Project, that’s all about talking about the representation of Black people, Indigenous people, and people of color in movies.

In our first event in this series, we discussed what we loved about the film, different themes, and the real, Black historical figures depicted in The Harder They Fall.

Featured Panelists: Katrina Overby, Nick Robertson, Gabrielle Brannigan, Justin Connor, Deborah Alvarez, and The Harder They Fall Director Jeymes Samuel (The Bullitts).
Moderator: Jackie McGriff

Our Voices Project provides a safe space and platform for Black people, Indigenous people, and people of color to share experiences that have shaped them into the people they are today through visual storytelling. Our goal is to dismantle destructive stereotypes of BIPOC perpetuated in the media by providing educational resources across marginalized groups brought on by the stories we share. Our Voices Project is also a committed community partner, providing opportunities in line with the NYS Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education Framework to help educators design and implement a student-centered learning environment that affirms racial and cultural identities, empowers students as agents of social change, and contributes to an individual’s engagement, learning, growth, and achievement through cultivation of critical thinking.
