Is Black Panther an important film?
Hollywood has been known to divert from Afrocentric films, claiming they wouldn’t attract a sufficient audience. So, a film written and directed by black men, who tells a story about black characters in a fictional black land should have been a financial flop.
Although, Black Panther’s box-office success may permanently disrupt this narrative, creating conditions for a more inclusive industry and a wider range of films.
... Join us to watch the Marvel story of a new young African King - who gets tested when he's drawn into a conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk.
The film screening will be followed by a discussion of what the future holds for further Afrocentric films...
