A group of Wilde Lake High School students has organized a movie night for the Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action. Black Lives Matter at School is a national group organizing for racial justice in education. The movie night will take place on Friday, February 5th at 5:00 pm and will end at 7:30 pm.
First, the students will watch a short movie called Cops and Robbers, rated PG-13. In Cops and Robbers, “animation and activism unite in this multimedia spoken-word response to police brutality and racial injustice.” After the movie short is over, we will begin to watch the movie Selma, rated PG-13. It is a two-hour movie “based on the 1965 Selma to Montgomery voting rights marches initiated and directed by James Bevel and led by Martin Luther King Jr., Hosea Williams, and John Lewis.”
After the movie, students will have the opportunity to participate in some discussion about the movie and will receive action steps they can take to be an ally to the black community. You can join the event using the Zoom information below:
We hope that you can make it to the BLM Week of Action movie night. Thank you.
