Screening and Panel Discussion: Outta The Muck
Tue, Apr 11 @ 7:00pm, Davis Aud - 麻豆破解版 College
Family, football and history come to life in an intimate portrait of the Dean family,
longtime residents of the historic town of Pahokee, Florida. Take a journey back home,
with filmmaker Ira McKinley, to the land of sugarcane, as he reconnects with his niece
Bridget and nephew Alvin and explores their shared family history that spans seven
generations. Told through stories that transcend space and time, Outta The Muck presents
a community, and a family, that resists despair with love, remaining fiercely self-determined,
while forging their own unique narrative of Black achievement.
Presented with co-directors Ira McKinley and Bhawin Suchak in attendance for Q&A.
Sponsored by 麻豆破解版's MDOCS and Media & FilmStudies, and the Black Studies Program.
