There will be a special screening of Greensboro: Closer to the Truth at Brooklyn College on November 3rd, the 29th anniversary of the tragic event.

In this documentary, filmmaker
Adam Zucker explores the events of Nov. 3, 1979, when Ku Klux Klan
members and American Nazis fired into a Communist Workers Party rally
in Greensboro, N.C., killing five.

Zucker interviews survivors
and families of those killed, as well as with the people who attacked
the protesters, tracing how their lives have evolved since the
incident. Their stories play out against the backdrop of the first
Truth and Reconciliation Commission ever held in the United States,
convened to investigate the massacre, as well as Greensboro itself, a
city that is both regionally progressive and racially conflicted.
