Block 1: Reclaiming Identity

The Resistance & Joy Screening Tour is a bold new initiative by Color Congress presenting a powerful slate of short documentaries, all directed by filmmakers of color. These films highlight activism, social justice movements, and the fight for equity across different communities.

Through intergenerational storytelling, bold artistic expression, and lived experiences, this block of films centers personal and collective journeys of self-discovery, healing, and belonging.
