Wade in the Water. by Mesfin, David,film director.; Masekela, Selema,actor.; Schaffer, Sharon,actor.; Video Project (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Selema Masekela, Sharon SchafferOriginally produced by Video Project in 2023.Led by historical experts and community leaders in the BIPOC surfing movement, WADE IN THE WATER resurrects the thousand-year-old Black surfing tradition, stirring the next generation of Black surfers. The film explores the neglected history of Black surfing’s heritage by charting the origins of African aquatic culture and examining the evolution of Black surfing through the modern day.The journey begins with the first written account of surfing in the 1640s, from Africa, 200 years before Europeans described surfing in Oceania and the Pacific Islands. Advancing into the 20th century, Nick Gabaldón is highlighted as a surfing figure who is as significant as he is overlooked. We then learn of the shameful histories of weaponizing eminent domain and acts of white supremacist terrorism that drove Black communities and businesses from America's shores in places such as Manhattan Beach and Santa Monica. And finally, we bear witness to the reclamation of aquatic culture with the contemporary wave of young Black surfers.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Admissions Granted. by Wu, Hao,film director.; Wang, Miao,film director.; MSNBC Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by MSNBC Films in 2023.In June 2023, the 6-3 conservative majority at the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in higher education in the landmark Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v. HARVARD and SFFA v. UNC cases, dealing a crushing blow to progressives who had labored to address racism in America through race-conscious policies.The film revisits the district court trial of this case and tracks the case’s emotional, high-stakes journey to the Supreme Court. It documents how Edward Blum and activists on both sides strategize and hustle to win in court and in public opinion, and highlights the ways the case has divided the Asian American community. Woven throughout are incisive observations from The New Yorker’s Jeannie Suk Gersen, former Harvard president Neil L. Rudenstine, former Dean of Howard University (now Mount Holyoke College president) Danielle Holley, and professor Natasha Warikoo, who dig deeper into why the heated debate of affirmative action sits at the intersection of American beliefs.Combining interviews, news archive, and verité footage with dynamic animated sequences that bring the closed-door court hearings to life, ADMISSIONS GRANTED takes an honest and thoughtful look at the complexity of the affirmative action debate, the divisions within the Asian American community and our nation’s increasing polarization on matters of race, equity, and inclusion.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Resistance in a Hostile Environment: Subnormal. by Shannon, Lyttanya,film director.; BBC Studios (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by BBC Studios in 2021.In the 1960s, while young black adults were getting to grips with the struggle for black power and a long fightback against police abuse was starting, the majority of West Indian migrants were keeping their heads down. They were working hard and counting on providing better opportunities and education for their children. However, in a white-dominated country, where the politics were becoming increasingly racialised, there was a question of how society, and its teachers, saw these young black children. Before having a chance to develop intellectually, they were labelled as stupid, difficult and disruptive. This documentary reveals how black children in the 1960s and 70s were sent to schools for the subnormal, and how parents, activists and teachers came together to fight this injustice.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

The Cure for Hate. by D., Peter,film director.; Media Education Foundation (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Media Education Foundation in 2023.In the Jewish tradition, tshuvah means “return” and describes the return to God and our fellow human beings that is made possible through repentance for our wrongs. Tony McAleer is a former Skinhead and Holocaust denier who went on to become a founding member of the anti-hate activist group Life After Hate. Profoundly aware and deeply ashamed of the lineage of hate he’d once promoted, Tony had long-contemplated traveling to Auschwitz in the spirit of tshuvah - to bear witness to the inconceivable ravages of the Holocaust, and deepen his personal work against the rise of extremist politics.THE CURE FOR HATE documents his profoundly personal journey of atonement to Auschwitz/Birkenau - exploring the conditions that allowed for the rise of fascism in 1930s Europe; shedding a unique light upon how men get into, and out of, violent extremist groups; and serving as a cautionary tale for our time that underscores the dangers in allowing hate to be left unchecked.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
