As part of the Women on the Periphery strand of Cinema Rediscovered, Come the Revolution screens two acclaimed short films by Madeline Anderson – the first African-American woman to executive-produce a nationally aired television series. Integration Report is a cinematic snapshot of the civil rights movement across the United States in 1960, from Montgomery, Alabama, to Brooklyn. I Am Somebody documents the 1969 strike of black hospital workers in Charleston, South Carolina, over the course of which more than a thousand strikers, students, and civil rights activists were jailed. All but twelve of the 400 strikers were women, and Anderson tells the story from a distinctly feminist point of view. The event is presented by Come the Revolution curator and writer Liz Chege, who will lead a conversation after the screening.
