SUMMARY:Film Screening:ASC Film Screening and Fireside Chat: *The People's Uncle* by Kavena Hambira
DESCRIPTION:About the film:\nAfter the murder of his nephew Oscar Grant by a BART police officer in 2009\, Cephus “Uncle Bobby” Johnson emerged as a national social justice activist. At the forefront of the struggle to end police violence in the United States\, the story of *The People’s Uncle* chronicles his journey and his work with families affected by similarly brutal experiences.\n\nHambira\, an African filmmaker living in the United States\, uses his storytelling to bridge gaps between marginalized voices across the African diaspora. By documenting Uncle Bobby’s work and impact\, Hambira reframes dominant narratives to emphasize resilience\, activism\, and the interwoven struggles of African and African American communities. This collaboration highlights the enduring ties between the continent and its diaspora\, showcasing how shared histories and experiences of marginalization can inspire collective action and solidarity. Together\, their work not only surfaces suppressed stories but also serves as a powerful example of diasporic unity in the fight for justice and human rights.\n\nFree and open to the public.\nPlease register at: https://forms.gle/KNCKqcZv8VKazHfz5
