Voices of Social Change Presents Chocolate City Documentary and Discussion
Description:
Ellie Walton is a filmmaker and educator who produces radio and video documentaries. A few of her productions include an ex-guerrilla radio station in Guatemala, and a documentary about the prison system in London. She collaborates with the community to let the voices of the unheard be heard.
During our Voices of Social Change presentation, we will be showing Chocolate City, a documentary that explores the rapid gentrification of Washington, DC through the eyes of women who are fighting to return to their neighborhood. We will follow the documentary with a discussion led by Ellie Walton and the women featured in the film.
