SUMMARY:Free Community Cinema Screening
DESCRIPTION:Winner of Audience Choice Award for Best Documentary at the 60th Chicago International Film Festival! \nChicago icons past and present come together in this inspiring documentary about artistic practice and political activism. As celebrated sculptor Richard Hunt crafts his monument to civil rights icon Ida B. Wells\, “The Light of Truth\,” the film weaves together Hunt’s story with the captivating history of his subject\, Ida B. Wells. \nIn connecting artist and activist through Hunt’s towering 35-foot-high Bronzeville-based sculpture\, the film reveals their analogous missions to battle racism and forge new paths for Black Americans. A moving testament to Hunt\, an influential artist\, and Wells\, notable for her anti-lynching organizing and role in the suffragist movement\, The Light of Truth is a monument to public art\, the spirit of protest\, and two essential Black Chicago pioneers dedicated to freedom and perseverance. \nMore information
