We Dream In Black has partnered with NDWA’s Culture Change Team to create the Unbossed Black Immigrant Film Series. This series will amplify the demands of We Dream In Black’s Unbossed: A Black domestic worker agenda, with the goal of transforming domestic workcreating infrastructure for thriving Black communities, and disrupting harm.

We launched this series on Mayday 2021 and screened Chèche Lavi, a lyrical portrait following the journey of two Haitian migrants who become stranded at the US-Mexico border. Afterwards, we led a Q+A  and panel discussion with the Haitian Bridge Alliance and the film’s producers: Rachel Cantave and Sam Ellison.

Our last film screening was of Through the Night, a cinema verité portrait of three working NY mothers whose lives intersect at a 24-hour daycare center: a mother working the overnight shift as an essential worker at a hospital; another holding down three jobs to support her family; and a woman who for over two decades has cared for the children of parents with nowhere else to turn.

Our next film screening will be of Aristide and the Endless Revolution, a documentary film that investigates the 2004 US backed coup d’etat in Haiti that led to the removal of Haiti’s first democratically elected President, Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
