Black is Beautiful: The Kwame Brathwaite Story

Photographer to the greats, collaborator in African liberation and archivist of Harlem, Brathwaite’s impact on Black culture is undeniable but he was largely forgotten by history. This documentary covers the incredible surge in awareness of Kwame’s work including being embraced by Rihanna and Beyonce. Alicia Keys, Jesse Williams, and Gabrielle Union speak emotionally about championing Kwame’s work in this documentary which finally gives “the keeper of the images” of the Black is Beautiful movement his moment to shine. Part of the 4th annual Austin series presented by AFS & Pan African Film Festival, showcasing powerful Black stories around the globe.
