Journey To The AfroFuture

Directed by Montë Murphy, Sidney Beeman

‘Journey to the AfroFuture’ is a dance film that uses movement to explore and question the often overlooked contributions of the Afro past to our present and future. Through the medium of dance, this film moves through three key eras: the harrowing realities of plantation life, the struggles of Black sharecroppers whose lands were taken for societal gain, and finally, a reflection of hope rooted in the Harlem Renaissance. This screen dance not only revisits the past but also advocates for reparations, underscoring the rightful claims of Black and Indigenous communities across the globe. Through expressive movement and powerful imagery, ‘Journey to the AfroFuture’ calls for a deeper acknowledgment of history and justice.
