Dara Kell & Christopher Nizza: Dear Mandela

What: FREE screenings of social justice films and intimate conversations with leading filmmakers. When their shantytowns are threatened with mass eviction, three “young lions” of South Africa’s new generation rise from the shacks and take their government to the highest court in the land, putting the promises of democracy to the test. Filmmakers Dara Kell and Christopher Nizza’s Dear Mandela offers a fascinating portrait of South Africa coming of age and a new perspective on the role that young people can play in political change. Before the screening, listen to a conversation with the filmmakers, followed by a performance from Sibongile Khumalo, Africa’s First Lady of Song.
When: Tuesday, April 1st at 7:00pm
Where: David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center
