The Little will screen Black Girl (Ousmane Sembène, Senegal / France 1966, 65 min.) followed by a panel discussion with Kaci Jones, and Lesli Myers, moderated by Erica Jones as part of the The Black Cinema Series.

Ousmane Sembène, the most internationally renowned African director of the twentieth century, made his feature debut in 1966 with the brilliant and stirring Black Girl. A complex, layered critique on the lingering colonialist mindset of a supposedly postcolonial world. Black Girl is a harrowing human drama as well as a radical political statement—and one of the essential films of the 1960s.
