Attend a special Black History Month screening of Asif Wilson's latest documentary film, Against the Current. In the film, Kyla, a high school senior and community organizer journeys across the state of Illinois in search of ways that Black people have resisted oppression across time. Drawing on interviews and archival research, the film illuminates Black resistance in Illinois and throughout the world, in hopes of inspiring others to remember the past and reimagine their role(s) in shaping the future.
