Events › Documentary Film Screening: The Fight for Black Lives (2024)

Please join us for a screening of The Fight for Black Lives.

This documentary explores whether the persistently higher rate of Black maternal and infant mortality that has been documented for over 100 years is inevitable because it is “located in the inferior body of the negro” or preventable because it is located in “inferior social conditions.”

The Fight For Black Lives is a clarion call that explores racial health disparities, tracing historical roots to present-day systemic issues within the American healthcare system. Through personal stories, archival footage, and expert insights, the documentary highlights the urgent need for health justice in America. The film is directed and produced by Dr. Micere Keels.
