New Doc World films continue in June, featuring stories demonstrating the parallels that exist between communities even thousands of miles apart. Also premiering this month, AfroPoP: The Ultimate Cultural Exchange returns with its 17th season, including new documentaries along with narrative features and shorts capturing Black communities making their mark on the world through art, innovation, and activism. And celebrate Pride Month on WORLD with streaming films and a new episode of Stories from the Stage.
Taking Pride
Pride often begins with a moment of truth, and a choice to stand by it. Deb navigates parenting and legal invisibility as a non-biological lesbian mom; JJ journeys from prodigy to queer writer, learning that pride comes from within; and Rev. Irene shares how the AIDS epidemic sparked change in her Black church. Three storytellers, three interpretations of TAKING PRIDE, hosted by Theresa Okokon.
Mother Suriname and The Changing Same
Mother Suriname is an evocative portrayal of Suriname's history woven through one woman’s reflections on her life. And in The Changing Same, poet L. Lamar Wilson runs a marathon to lift a town’s veil of racial terror in Marianna, Florida.
Searching for Amani
What begins as a young aspiring journalist’s search for answers to his father’s death becomes a powerful coming-of-age story. Set in a Kenyan conservancy facing extreme drought, Searching for Amani follows a 13-year-old’s pursuit of truth as he uncovers the invisible forces of climate change threatening his home and future.
