From Grief to Transformation: A Community Conversation Through Film
Missouri History Museum | 5700 Lindell Blvd. St. Louis, MO 63112Join us for a thought-provoking showing of the film Ferdinand’s Guide to Grief and a community conversation about grief and healing. This 36-minute short film, directed by Cami Thomas, reflects on the 10-year anniversary of the 2014 Ferguson uprising. Through a lens of poetry, music, and interviews with siblings of Michael Brown Jr. and other St. Louis residents, this film seeks to humanize the experience of collective grief and give a blueprint on how to begin the process of transmuting such emotion. Following the screening, listen to a conversation led by Annissa McCaskill, Executive Director of Forward Through Ferguson, about mourning, memory, and resistance over a decade after the 2014 Ferguson uprising. McCaskill will be joined by filmmaker Cami Thomas; Cheeraz Gorman, Founder of Presence & Care, LLC; and Atif Mahr, Vice President of Chosen Fathers.
