About the Event
In celebration of Women's History Month, Women in Film and Black Harvest Film Festival host a special screening of Invisible Giants. There will be a post-screening Q&A with writer/director Essence McDowell.
The film follows artists, educators, and organizers as they carry history forward, challenge erasure, and spark conversations about identity, culture, and collective memory. From the voices of young students seeking histories absent from their classrooms, to the wisdom of 92-year-old Brenetta Howell Barrett, whose decades of organizing have transformed Chicago, Invisible Giants explores the ways that history defines the present and shapes the future. This cinematic journey reveals hidden legacies and invites viewers to witness the enduring impact of Black women past, present, and future.
