We have no doubt
done some extensive reporting on this essential new documentary by filmmaker Pratibha Parmar, about acclaimed (and
controversial) novelist and activist Alice Walker.
Just last
month, we reposted with Jana Sante’s
review of the film (HERE), when it was shown at a special event at the African Diaspora International Film
Festival in December.
Now, if you
have been waiting for your chance to see it, you’ll have your chance very soon.
The long
running PBS series American Masters will broadcast the documentary
on Friday Feb. 7 at 9PM Eastern Time
(though, of course, make sure to check your local listings).
Not only is
the documentary being presented for Black History Month, but also in honor of
Ms. Walker’s upcoming 70th
birthday on Feb. 9th.
Here’s the
new trailer for the American Masters broadcast:
