The **importance of community building to combat this oppressed system won't get done until we understand who we are."* Joanie Lopez, San Diego City College student activist, MEChA president and POTC About the screenings, Bocafloja said: "Following each screening, NANA DIJO opens up the possibility of relevant dialogue, debate and critical analysis. As the director of the film, I have been part of several Q&A's at colleges and universities that were crucial in the establishment of really productive networks and agendas between students, academics and community interested or involved in topics such as race, identity and its politics."

NANA DIJO is an urgent historical registry filmed in Mexico, Honduras, Uruguay, Argentina and the United States, which opens a crucial platform of analysis about race relations/politics by transgressing beyond the parameters of "safe discourses" imposed by culturalist agendas. The narrative sewed into NANA DIJO grows out from the body of the oppressed as an auto-cartographic experience that trespasses the borders created by nation-states. NANA DIJO is the Black experience, often hidden in the colonized psyche, which goes out for a walk each Sunday through the vernacular manifestations of our elders. NANA DIJO; IRRESOLUTE RADIOGRAPHY OF BLACK CONSCIOUSNESS is the first documentary collaborative project by Bocafloja and Cambiowashere. *UPCOMING EDUCATIONAL SCREENINGS* 9/20 Fullerton College - California 9/21 Grossmont College - California 9/22 Cal State LA - California 9/23 Mira Costa College - California 9/30 Arizona State University - Arizona 10/4 University of Maryland - Maryland 10/6 Chaffei College - California 10/29 Kansas University - Kansas ORDER ONLINE AT TWN.ORG <http://twn.org/catalog/pages/cpage.aspx?rec=1445&card=price> WATCH TRAILER <http://youtu.be/F7gXtc1uPpM> FOR INFO ABOUT THE TOUR, EMAIL [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Sincerely, Roselly Roselly Torres Distribution & Marketing Director Third World Newsreel (212) 947-9277 ext. 17 To subscribe to our monthly newsletter, text TWN to 22828. ---- For past messages, visit the Screen-L Archives: https://listserv.ua.edu/archives/screen-l.html
