Please join us for a special screening of Color of Autumn, an independent film created and produced by a stellar team, including several Summiteers.

​

The film is adapted from a short story by Chicago writer and social justice arts practitioner Constance Nicole Frierson, and directed by award winner Aimiende Negbenebor Sela.

​

Color of Autumn is set in 1966 Chicago and tells the story of a sheltered Black eight-year-old girl growing up on the South Side. The film sparks important conversations about racism, loss of innocence, Black masculinity, peer pressure and hate speech.

​

The film has garnered significant attention in several prominent film festivals, and now it will be featured in a special one-hour event Story Summit event. Please join us for a screening of the film and a Q&A with the writer and director facilitated by Executive Producer Pamela Weiss.
