"This is [Not] Who We Are"
2 p.m.
Light of Christ ECC, 1000 15th Ave.
As part of its celebration of Black History Month, Light of Christ Ecumenical Catholic Community (ECC) will show the 2022 film, This Is [Not] Who We Are, by local directors, Beret E. Strong and Katrina Miller.
The film explores the gap between Boulder, Colorado’s progressive self-image and the lived experiences of its small but resilient Black community by featuring Zayd Atkinson, a university student performing his work study job cleaning up the grounds of his dorm when he was threatened by a police officer and, soon, by eight officers with guns drawn. He lived to tell the story many Black men don’t survive to tell. While it has a unique history, Boulder is emblematic of liberal, white, university-based communities that profess an inclusive ethic but live a segregated reality. The film explores the interconnected issues of land use, affordability, racial and class-based segregation, educational equity, and policing.
Dr. Thomas Windham, a Boulder psychologist, educator and a consultant to the project will be on hand to discuss the film with participants. The event is free and open to the public Refreshments will be served after the film.
