Synopsis

Free admission! Discussion with filmmaker Khary Saeed Jones to follow the screening.

In August 2017, filmmaker Khary Saeed Jones was followed by a vigilante down back roads in rural Canada. As he plans his return, he wonders whether he wants answers to his many questions or something else.

Night Fight is a powerful story that charts a complex journey from retribution to self-renewal, to moving forward, while still facing your pain or fear. This candid, nuanced, and deeply personal treatment of the resurgent racial under- and over-currents that have moved stubbornly against e=orts to unwind and address the permanence of systemic and interpersonal racial violence and discrimination uses the best of our cinematic traditions to tell a surprisingly human story. The story of a community. The story of a father and a son. A story that compellingly transforms the now into what’s next.

This event is co-sponsored by the Department of History at UC Riverside and, in part, by the CHASS Dean‘s Office and the Center for Ideas and Society.
