Each month, Community Cinema screenings offer special sneak previews of films scheduled for upcoming broadcast on the Emmy Award-winning PBS series Independent Lens. Community Cinema screenings also feature panel discussions with leading community-based organizations and special guest speakers, as well as information and resources designed to help people learn about and get involved in today's key social issues.
January 2008 selection: BANISHED
From the 1860s to the 1920s, dozens of towns and counties across America violently expelled entire African American communities, forcing thousands of black families to flee their homes. A century later, these towns remain all white. BANISHED tells the story of three of these counties and their black descendants, who return to learn shocking histories.
