In honor of Social Work Month, the New Leader in African-Centered Social Work Scholars (NLACSW) invite you to join them for a viewing & discussion of the award winning movie MOONLIGHT.
The film..."chronicle of the childhood, adolescence and burgeoning adulthood of a young black man growing up in a rough neighborhood of Miami." (IMDB)
"a vital portrait of contemporary African American life and an intensely personal and poetic meditation on identity, family, friendship, and love, MOONLIGHT is a groundbreaking piece of cinema that reverberates with deep compassion and universal truths. Anchored by extraordinary performances from a tremendous ensemble cast, Barry Jenkins's staggering, singular vision is profoundly moving in its portrayal of the moments, people, and unknowable forces that shape our lives and make us who we are." (Youtube)
Lunch will be provided.
