SFUFF 2017 / 150 mins
The two films tell stories of struggle for social justice as directly connected to a physical place, whether it’s the rich agricultural lands of rural Georgia, or the streets of San Francisco. Join us for the screening and a discussion with panelists who have dedicated their lives to equitable community development in the Bay Area and beyond as we explore the intersection of activism, public policy and land wealth, with specific focus on African American communities.In This Program: Take This Hammer, Arc of Justice, The Rise, Fall and Rebirth of a Beloved Community
