Idrissou Mora-Kpai, Assistant Professor of Cinema and Photography, Awarded the 2020 Media Arts Assistance Fund Distribution GrantContributed by Karen Armstrong on 04/09/20
The grant supports the distribution and exhibition rollout for his new feature-length documentary, America Street. The film follows Joe, the owner of a small corner store, in the heart of an old, but slowly, disappearing black community. By portraying Joe’s daily life and the very specific microcosm around him, the film also investigates the socio-economic struggles of the black community in a town whose legacy of segregation and racism has been recently exposed with the murder of Walter Scott by a white police officer and the killings at the Emanuel AME Church.
