A packed audience viewed resident Adisa Septuri’s latest film, “Ifine”, in the Fireside Room on February 26, with a lively question and comment period afterwards adeptly managed by moderator Carolynn (“Fruity”) Middleton.
The film, winner of the Best Short Documentary at this year’s Pan African Film Festival, exposes the health risks young people in Sierra Leone take in pursuit of a light skinned beauty idea and provoked reminders of the physical and emotional damage “whitening” wreaks here in the United States.
Afterwards, guests chatted and enjoyed an array of delicious pies. Village Green’s Cultural Affairs Committee sponsored this event in honor of Black History Month.
