Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the one-day-only special premiere of “After Sherman” on Tuesday, June 6 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre. There will be two screenings at 3:30 and 6:30 p.m.
Beautifully layered, the multiple award-winning new documentary “After Sherman” is a story about inheritance and the tension that defines our collective American history, especially Black history.
Filmmaker Jon Sesrie Goff follows his father, a minister, in the aftermath of a mass shooting at his church in Charleston, South Carolina to understand how communities of descendants of enslaved Africans use their unique faith as a form of survival as they continue to fight for America to live up to its many unfulfilled promises to Black Americans.
“A Piercing Documentary … nourishes both the spirit and soul.” — IndieWire
“Captivating. Ambitiously framed.” — The Hollywood Reporter
“Goff effectively bottles the energy generated when history collides with memory and lets it resound in his feature to stirring effect.” — The Playlist
“After Sherman” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre on Tuesday, June 6 at 3:30 and 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members.
