Filmmaker/activist Mary Morten’s new independent documentary, Woke Up Black, will have a screening Wed., June 8, at 7 p.m. at ICE Theater 14, 210 W. 87th.
The documentary had its premiere Feb. 25 before a sold-out audience at the Gene Siskel Film Center.
Director Morten’s team followed five Black youths for two years to “get a glimpse of their lives, their struggles, and their dreams.” The youths come from diverse backgrounds, including one teen boy raised by two gay dads and one genderqueer young woman who is struggling to understand her parents’ lack of acceptance.
Tickets are $15 ($7 for students). See www.WokeUpBlack.com.
