The prolific New York documentarian St. Clair Bourne complemented his career-long focus on African-American culture with this unique chronicle of a fact-finding trip to Belfast made by five black civil rights activists.
While most of the filmmakers in this programme do not explicitly reflect their position as outsiders, Bourne makes it his subject, documenting exchanges between the visitors and their Republican hosts as they explore the commonalities of their respective struggles, as well as the differences; most pivotally, their position on armed resistance.
This unique document of the 1980s explores the influence of the African American civil rights movement, both in philosophy and strategy, within the Republican movement.
The film will be followed by a panel discussion.
