Screening of the 2024 film 'Kemba' by Kemba Smith Pradia, followed by a Q&A session with the audience.
Kemba Smith Pradia is coming to the Central Library on Thursday, October 15, for a screening and discussion of her 2024 film, Kemba. It's a personal project, and she'll be here in Kansas City to present it and talk with the audience afterward.
The film is built around Pradia's own experience as a college student whose partner turned out to be an abusive drug dealer. She wrote the story from that first-hand account, and the screening is just one part of the evening—the second half is a Q&A where she'll take questions from the crowd. It's a chance to hear the story directly from the person who lived it and wrote it, rather than just watching it on screen.
