Encore Screening Added: Rooted
Saturday, March 22, 6:30pm at American University
Our screening at Anacostia Community Museum may be sold out, but here's a second chance to catch Rooted this weekend!
Faced with the lack of fresh produce in a South Carolina food desert, Germaine Jenkins transforms a small, empty lot in her predominantly Black neighborhood into a lush farm and grocery store. But five years later, when Jenkins tries to buy the land where she has been growing food for her community, she discovers far more people are interested in championing her cause than in taking her seriously.
Followed by a conversation with film subject Germaine Jenkins!
