“The Bell Affair” is an award-winning film that tells the powerful story of Daniel and Mary Bell, an enslaved couple who sued for their freedom and led one of the largest escape attempts in U.S. history. Using an innovative live-action animation style, the film highlights the often-overlooked history of how enslaved people used the courts to challenge their bondage. The filmmakers will share the unique challenges of bringing this story to life—working with actors spread across the country and filming without ever gathering the full cast in one location due to COVID.
Registration Deadline: Mon, March 23.
Free and Open to the Public.
