Documentary screening with Mama C, Charlotte Hill O'Neal, about the United African American Community Center in Tanzania.
Charlotte Hill O'Neal is back in San Diego on Tuesday, October 20, at the WorldBeat Cultural Center to screen her latest documentary, Panther Veterans in Tanzania: The Legacy Continues. She'll be there in person, so you'll get to see the film and then hear from the woman who made it.
If you aren't familiar with her, she goes by Mama C, and the film is a look at the United African American Community Center (UAACC) in Tanzania, which she founded with Pete O'Neal. Both were members of the Black Panther Party, and the documentary follows the work they've done there over the decades—cultural, educational, and grassroots projects built on their commitment to Pan-Africanism and community empowerment. It's a story about what happens after the headlines fade, tracing the community they've built on the ground over the long haul.
It's a documentary about social justice and veterans' stories, and since Mama C is in the room, it's a good chance to learn more about the UAACC and the work they're still doing. If that's your speed, it's a night that gives you a look at a piece of history that doesn't get much airtime.
