Free screening of ‘Our School’ in California
A free screening of the award-winning documentary “Our School” will be shown at 6 p.m. Sept. 28 at the California Municipal Building, 225 Third St., with an introduction by Roma filmmaker George Eli of the Romani Media Initiative.
After the screening, a panel discussion will be held featuring noted Roma scholars, including Jud Nirenberg and Christiana Grigore.
The New York Times describes “Our School” as “part case study on entrenched racism, part heartbreaking human rights story.” It is produced and directed by Mona Nicoara and co-produced/co-directed by Miruna Coca-Cozma.
The free screening is being held as part of an ongoing effort to bridge the divide between local residents and members of the Roma community who have recently relocated to the California area.
