#TWNWorkshop alum & Peabody award-winning filmmaker Grace Lee launched a new podcast: @viewerslikeuspod -- "this series unearths the rhyming history within the public broadcasting system, explores who gets to tell America’s stories, and envisions what the future could look like if PBS centered a diversity of experiences and perspectives."
"What would it look like if public TV 📺 actually reflected the entire American public?"

ALFREDA’S CINEMA PRESENTS
A POWERFUL THANG (1991)
DIRECTOR: ZEINABU IRENE DAVIS
AVAILABLE ON DEMAND SEP 22-27, 2021
The scarcity of healthy Black love stories in film makes the achievement of A Powerful Thang all the more remarkable. Zeinabu Irene Davis’s Midwest-set adult drama, a tender, intimate work which wholeheartedly embraces the pleasures of romantic love, was released 30 years ago. Previously and since there have been only a handful of Black American films to platform s*x as a sacred bond—it’s the “powerful thang” of the title—and fewer still made with such nuance and style. Davis stokes the chemistry between two Black characters, writer Yasmine (Asma Feyijinmi) and saxophone teacher Craig (John Earl Jelks), with appealing humor and honesty, producing a film that should be received as a revelation for generations who’ve seen (Black) love treated as an afterthought.
Programmed by Melissa Lyde (#TWNWorkshop fellow) as part of Alfreda’s Cinema.
