SUMMARY:Film Screening:The Color of Friendship
DESCRIPTION:This February marks the 25th anniversary of the Disney Channel Original Movie The Color of Friendship\, a children's movie set in the late 1970s about the Black daughter of a US congressman who is excited to host a foreign exchange student from Africa until a white South African who supports the Apartheid regime arrives.\n\nAlthough the film was broadcast on youth programming\, it does not shy away from frank and difficult representations of the violent history during this period. The film thus invites questions about US representations of transnational histories\; the pedagogical function of film\, especially for children\; hospitality and tolerance\; child witnesses of violence\; and the ongoing role of gendered tropes like sentimentality in multiculturalist rhetoric. Please note the film addresses and depicts anti-Black violence.\n\nPlease join us on February 7 at 6 p.m. in Angell Hall 3222 for a screening of the film followed by discussion with University of Michigan PhD students Kabelo Sandile Motsoeneng (English) and Maya Sudarkasa (History). Food will be provided. The event is free and open to the public.\n\nIf you have any questions about the event or would like to discuss how we may make the event more accessible for you\, please contact the organizers Vanessa Cooper (vscooper@umich.edu) and James Kiselik (jqk@umich.edu).\n\nWe gratefully acknowledge support to make this event possible from the University of Michigan Comparative Literature\, English Language and Literature\, and Women's and Gender Studies departments.
