FILM SCREENING & TALK BACK WITH CO-DIRECTOR Louis Massiah - TCB: The Toni Cade Bambara School of Organizing

Join us at the Paul and Eslanda Robeson Cinema at The People's Forum, created in the spirit of their love of art, film, and revolution. A riveting portrait of revolutionary writer, filmmaker, educator, and cultural organizer Toni Cade Bambara, TCB - The Toni Cade Bambara School of Organizing examines the enduring legacy of one of the most influential Black intellectuals and movement builders of the twentieth century. Structured as a series of lessons in cultural organizing, the film combines rare archival footage with reflections from friends, collaborators, students, and fellow artists to illuminate Bambara's unwavering commitment to using art as a tool for political education, collective struggle, and community empowerment. More than a biography, TCB offers a blueprint for organizers, educators, artists, and anyone committed to building movements rooted in culture, imagination, and liberation. Through Bambara's life and work, the film reminds us that revolutionary organizing is as much about transforming culture as it is about transforming society. Following the screening, stay for a special talkback with co-director Louis Massiah, who will discuss the making of the film, Toni Cade Bambara's enduring influence, and the continued importance of revolutionary cultural work in today's movements.
