Short # 4: Futbolistas 4 Life  (40:12 min)

This documentary takes you into the lives of two high schoolers: One is a DACA applicant who’s navigating the reality of his immigration status, and the other was born in California, but lives in fear that her undocumented parents may be deported. These youth take solace in the game of soccer that lets them, if only for a moment, put their worries on the sidelines. This film also features the fighting spirit of their coach Dania, who uses her role to help players understand the inequities that exist in their community. A former professional athlete and the daughter of political refugees from Chile, Dania uses her love for the game and her family’s own immigrant experience to connect with and empower her players.  http://futbolistas4lifefilm.com/  Trailer - https://vimeo.com/272056635**Q&A of film after screening**

 

 

 

 

September 6th: Evolutionary Blues

7:30pm film starts, Q&A with filmmaker after screening

EVOLUTIONARY BLUES by by CHERYL FABIO. 90 min. The Blues is an earthy, soul-stirring mélange of roots music and personal narratives that became the defining soundtrack of Black America. Wherever Black people settled that soundtrack took on a local flavor. In Northern California, the influences came from the musicianship of Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. Seventh Street in West Oakland supported and bolstered Blacks who answered the call of the war effort in the late 1940’s. Entrepreneurship created a fully contained community that provided work, homes and all the necessities of life including a fully developed music scene. Watch as more than 30 local musicians share their inspiration and describe the trajectory of the Oakland Blues: how it evolved and what it has become. Website - https://evolutionarybluesfilm.com/
