Mohawk activist Richard Oakes and student leader LaNada Means rally Native voices from across the nation to reclaim Alcatraz Island, transforming a former prison into a symbol of freedom. As the 'Indians of All Tribes' occupation captures the world's attention, unity and defiance collide with loss and sacrifice. Through courage and conviction, they ignite the Red Power Movement and declare to America, and the world, that Native people are still here, and always will be. The Blacumentary Director: Korise Jubert III Runtime: 00:30:40 The BLACumentary is the story of how six cultural leaders in Oakland started a revolution. This documentary takes you on a proverbial hero’s journey, tracing the Black arts movement in Oakland from its beginning to the threat of cultural erasure experienced today, and the work BLACspace Cooperative is doing to resist and rebuild the movement for the next 100 years Centering the voices of BLACspace Cooperative’s vision keepers and board members, the short film maps the birth of BLACspace and acts as a stirring meditation on what it means to re-establish and protect Black spaces.
