Experience the full-length documentary below, where filmmaker Rashaad Parker takes you on a profound journey through the lives and experiences of Black Rochesterians. Over the course of a year, Parker collected powerful stories that offer unique insights into the Black experience in our city.

This groundbreaking film premiered to a sold-out audience on June 19th, a date also known as Juneteenth, adding special significance to its debut. Now, we're proud to make it available here for all to view.

As you watch, you'll be immersed in a rich tapestry of narratives that touch on themes of community, resilience, challenges, and triumphs. This eye-opening exploration promises to deepen your understanding of the state of Black Rochester, as told by those who live it every day.

We invite you to watch, reflect, and engage with this important work that sheds light on the diverse experiences within our community.
