Director Yance Ford’s film follows the Ford family from the Jim Crow
South to New York City; and from the presumed safety of middle-class
suburbs to the maelstrom of an unexpected, violent death. Strong Island
portrays a family experiencing loss while the world around them engages
in historical injustice and the complicity of silence. Facilitated by
Associate Dean for International Student Programs James Reese, a
discussion follows the screening. (2017; 107 min.) Presented as part of
Bates’ 2019 Martin Luther King Jr. Day observances. FMI 207-786-6400 or bates.edu/mlk (after Dec. 21).
