The Black and the Green

In a vital career forged in the revolutionary spirit of the 1960s, activist documentarian St. Clair Bourne chronicled overlooked Black American cultural histories with an incisive, illuminating eye. In THE BLACK AND THE GREEN, Bourne follows five Black American civil rights activists as they travel to Belfast in the time of the Troubles on a journey of solidarity with the Northern Irish Catholics who are engaged in their own campaign for liberation. What emerges is a thoughtful, complex exchange of ideas on political organizing and modes of resistance that considers the inextricable link between freedom struggles across the world.
