WHO WE ARE: A CHRONICLE OF RACISM IN AMERICA Documentaries

Talent attending in-person screening: Emily Kunstler (Director), Sarah Kunstler (Director), and Jeffery Robinson (Producer/Writer).

Jeffery Robinson, a former ACLU Deputy Legal Director and lawyer of over 40 years, gives a comprehensive chronicle of anti-Black racism in America during a live talk on Juneteenth. The topics of unconscious bias, police violence and America’s foundation of white supremacy are seamlessly interwoven with archival footage from the last 50 years up until present-day and scenes of Robinson exploring his childhood growing up in Memphis, Tennessee. A cogent and engaging speaker, Robinson interviews activists, historical experts and families of police murder victims in his efforts to relay the full spectrum of America’s inequity. WHO WE ARE: A CHRONICLE OF RACISM IN AMERICA, directed by Emily Kunstler and Sarah Kunstler, is an essential deep dive into a divided nation’s history and the ongoing racial reckoning of our times. –Julia Kipnis
