The next film in the 99 Films Series, presented by Birmingham Institute for Social Change (BISC), will be hosted at Beloved on Tuesday, December 15th.

“Beasts of the Southern Wild” is narrated from the point of view of a young girl in New Orleans. It shares her experiences living through Hurricane Katrina, with her family and community binding together to overcome the injustices that followed.

This is the third film in BISC’s five-film series which focuses on land, cultural identity and community. These five films (Daughters of the Dust, My Brooklyn, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Holding Ground, and Gaining Ground) all serve in BISC’s popular education platform to address common themes and issues of land as sacred space; cultural identity, migration, and community; and gentrification, resistance and just transition in Birmingham black and brown communities, and tying our lived experiences in with other marginalized peoples in global sites of resistance.
