What you gonna do when the world's on fire? dir. by Roberto Minervini

Audiovisual

This is the story of a community of black people in the American South during the summer 2017, when a string of brutal killings of black men sent shockwaves throughout the country. A meditation on the state of race in America, this film is an intimate portrait into the lives of those who struggle for justice, dignity, and survival. A stunning series of vignettes documenting intimate, day-to-day discourse between mothers, children, business owners, local personalities, and New Black Panther Party members across multiple communities - a contemporary portrait of the state of race relations in the South emerges as black leaders advocate for resource equality and dignity, support community members in need, and demand an end to the systemic racism facilitating the continued murder of non-white Americans.
