SUMMARY:Legacy: Apartheid's Shadow: Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn about the ways Apartheid’s enduring legacy continues to shape South Africa and the pursuit of justice today.\n\n\nJoin us at Public Trust for Legacy: Apartheid’s Shadow\, a film screening and conversation about the ways Apartheid’s enduring legacy continues to shape South Africa and the pursuit of justice today. Following the screening\, director Tara Erica Moore will engage in conversation with with Andrea Mitchell Center Director Jeffrey Green.  \nAbout the film: \nThirty years after the fall of apartheid\, South Africa remains a divided nation and one of the most unequal countries in the world. Legacy is a landmark documentary film that reveals how the deep-seated inequalities created by decades of oppression continue to shape South African society. Offering a global call to confront the past in order to re-imagine a more equal future\, Legacy is a vital meditation on accountability and social justice that resonates far beyond one nation\, mirroring struggles playing out worldwide today. \nWith unprecedented access\, the film follows Wilhelm Verwoerd\, the grandson of HF Verwoerd\, the former Prime Minister of South Africa and so-called “Architect of Apartheid\,” as he grapples with his family’s role in one of history’s most brutal regimes. His deeply personal reckoning exposes apartheid’s endurance today\, both systemically and psychologically. \nLegacy also features intimate interviews with key figures in the history of Apartheid\, including Hilda Ndude\, a resistance leader and anti-apartheid activist\, Z Pallo Jordan\, a Government Minister in Mandela’s Cabinet\, and Mac Maharaj\, who was imprisoned alongside Nelson Mandela\, as well as sociologists\, political scientists\, land accountability lawyers\, spiritual leaders and others. Through their voices and stories of resilience and struggle\, we hear firsthand accounts of the lasting trauma and challenges of building a truly equitable and just society. Legacy concludes with a series of reflections on the progress made and unfinished work of creating a truly post-Apartheid South Africa. \nAbout the speakers: \nTara Erica Moore is the award-winning South African director\, editor\, and producer of Legacy: Apartheid’s Shadow. The film won the Best South African Documentary award and was a contender in the 2025 Oscar® race for Best Feature Documentary. Born under the complex backdrop of Apartheid and raised bouncing between South Africa and Connecticut\, Tara’s unique bi-racial\, bi-continental perspective informs her film-making. She has spent the past 15 years in Los Angeles gaining experience in the entertainment industry through various roles\, from acting in well-syndicated television shows\, to assisting prominent studio executives\, to working on high-budget production sets\, to over-seeing development. Tara holds a BA from Wesleyan University and an MBA from UCLA Anderson. \nJeffrey Green is a Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania and the Andrea Mitchell Endowed Director of the Andrea Mitchell Center for the Study of Democracy. His books include The Eyes of the People: Democracy in an Age of Spectatorship (2010) and The Shadow of Unfairness: A Plebeian Theory of Liberal Democracy (2016). He is political theorist who explores how democracy feels to those who live it—and what it would mean for those experiences to be taken more seriously in public life.

SUMMARY:The Woman's Film; Inside Women Inside
DESCRIPTION:Screening two classic feminist documentaries produced at bookends of the 1970s\n\n\nThe Woman’s Film: Dir. Jennifer Gauthier\, 1971\, 40 min. \nInside Women Inside: Dir. Christine Choy and Cynthia Maurizio\, 1978\, 21 min. \nAs a mode of action and as a way of thinking\, feminism constantly interrogates truth. Whose actions\, language\, and experience constitute truth? How would/could a feminist truth be gathered\, recorded\, presented\, and claimed? These questions erupt in two classic feminist documentaries produced at bookends of the 1970s: The Woman’s Film (1971) and Inside Women Inside (1978). Screened together\, we hope these films will facilitate a conversation about the relationship between feminism\, activism\, documentary practice\, and truth. \nFollowed by a conversation with Shilyh Warren\, Associate Professor of Visual and Performing Arts & Film Studies\, University of Texas\, and Asher Guthertz\, Ph.D Student\, Cinema & Media Studies\, University of Pennsylvania \nA program of the Wolf Humanities Center’s Forum on Truth\, the Perspectives film series is presented in collaboration with Penn’s Department of Cinema & Media Studies and Public Trust. \nFor more information visit https://wolfhumanities.upenn.edu/events/womans-film-inside-women-inside

SUMMARY:A Hero
DESCRIPTION:Screening followed by a conversation with Penn’s Meta Mazaj (Cinema & Media Studies) & Mahyar Entezari (Middle Eastern Languages & Cultures)\n\n\nDir. Asghar Farhadi\, 2021\, 127 min. \nA Hero is a 2021 film by a master of Iranian cinema\, two-time Oscar winner\, Asghar Farhadi. It tells a deceptively simple tale of a man on a two-day leave from a debtors’ prison\, who chances upon a pile of gold coins. Should he return the money to its owner\, or use it to pay off some of his debt? An ordinary predicament and simple moral judgement\, once confronted with complex layers of circumstances and perspectives\, results in a narrative of epic proportions and multifaceted truth. Simple dilemmas give rise to difficult philosophical questions: What is the difference between doing good and not doing bad? Between lying and not telling the truth? The truth and a truth? \nScreening followed by a conversation with Meta Mazaj\, Senior Lecturer of Cinema & Media Studies\, University of Pennsylvania\, and Mahyar Entezari\, Lecturer and Director\, Persian Language Program\, University of Pennsylvania. \nA program of the Wolf Humanities Center’s Forum on Truth\, the Perspectives film series is presented in collaboration with Penn’s Department of Cinema & Media Studies and Public Trust.  \nFor more information visit https://wolfhumanities.upenn.edu/events/a-hero.

SUMMARY:Tree of Violence
DESCRIPTION:Screening to be followed by a conversation with artist Victoria Lomasko and Julia Alekseyeva\n\n\nDir. Anna Moiseenko\, 2024\, 52 min. \nTree of Violence is a documentary combining animation and live-action footage to capture the extraordinary artistry of Victoria Lomasko\, an artist known for depicting figures of ordinary Russians not often found in mainstream media. We see her standing still amidst public protests against the regime\, carefully sketching the outlines of individuals which later appear in large-scale paintings and murals. The film chronicles Lomasko’s life just before the 2022 invasion of Ukraine\, when she had to leave Russia in order to protect herself and her artistic integrity. Overlaying historical and personal memory\, state violence and familial violence\, the film shows to what extent one artist\, with a single pen on paper\, can engage in truth-telling at moments of tremendous political tension. \nScreening followed by a conversation artist Victoria Lomasko\, and Julia Alekseyeva\, Assistant Professor of English and Cinema & Media Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. \nA program of the Wolf Humanities Center’s Forum on Truth\, the Perspectives film series is presented in collaboration with Penn’s Department of Cinema & Media Studies and Public Trust. \nMore information: https://wolfhumanities.upenn.edu/events/tree-violence

SUMMARY:Grid Presents: The People Left Behind
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Public Trust for The People Left Behind\, a conversation on Tuesday\, May 6\, 2025 from 7-8:30pm about the long-term effects of gun violence on local communities beyond the crime scene. The launch event for a new Grid magazine podcast\, the program will be hosted by Afea Tucker and features panelists Vivek Ashok\, Ellie Rushing\, Julien Suaudeau\, and others. Presented in partnership with Grid. \nAbout the Program\nWhy does gun violence reporting in local and national media typically center on the crime scene and the judicial process? How can we break the never-ending loop of the news cycle\, from one shooting to the next? How can we remove the stigma of victimhood and involve local actors (loved ones\, neighbors\, neighborhood associations) in the streamlining of gun violence coverage? Can news outlets shift from emergency reporting about shootings to long form journalism about their personal implications? What kind of storytelling and journalistic standards should we advocate to maximize the agency of survivors and co-victims? What needs to be done to mitigate the risks of exploitation and retraumatization? To what extent is sharing one’s story with the world part of a healing process? \nAbout the Speakers\nDr. Vivek Ashok is an Associate of the Center for Violence Prevention at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia\, and a fellow in the National Clinician Scholars Program at Penn Medicine. His research focuses on the language surrounding firearm related violence\, and disentangling firearm violence from mental illness. \nEllie Rushing is the Justice and Injustice Reporter at the The Philadelphia Inquirer. She covers criminal justice and law enforcement in Philadelphia\, including how crime and the court systems impact communities. \nJulien Suaudeau is a writer and filmmaker. He hosts two Philadelphia-centric podcasts: Song of Philadelphia and The People Left Behind. He teaches French and Film at Bryn Mawr College\, where he is the director of the Film Studies program. \nAfea Tucker is The Trace’s Philadelphia Community Engagement Reporter. She oversees Up the Block\, a resource and information hub for Philadelphians affected by gun violence. A veteran media professional and journalist\, her work has been published in The Philadelphia Tribune\, WHYY\, and The Philadelphia Inquirer. \nTerrez McCleary founded Moms Bonded By Grief. In November 2024\, the organization opened the Moms Bonded By Grief Botanical Garden of Healing\, a space built by mothers of homicide victims to honor Philadelphians lost to gun violence. The memorial garden sits at the corner of 51st Street and Woodland Avenue. \nMichelle Kerr-Spry is a Trauma-Informed Specialist and Behavioral Health Generalist\, as well as the Director of Programs and Development for Mothers In Charge (MIC).
