Join us for a screening of “Hard to Swallow,” an award-winning docuseries chronicling the work and perspective of Nigerian chef and food writer Tunde Wey in collaboration with filmmaker Theo Schear. Essayistic and reflexive, “Hard to Swallow” recounts Wey’s explosive career while building a critique of the social structures that disenfranchise Black peoples globally. Through episodes that follow Wey from New Orleans’ food scene to Detroit’s mayor’s office to the show’s contentious debut in Cannes, “Hard to Swallow” is unlike any food show on air right now.

Following the screening, prominent Detroit-based chef Ederique “Chef E” Goudia will moderate a discussion with show creators Wey and Schear.
