Black Hollywood: Nickel Boys

Saturday, December 7, 2:00 p.m.

Pollock Theater

Presented by the Carsey-Wolf Center

Filmmaker and director of Nickel Boys, RaMell Ross, will join Mireille Miller-Young (Feminist Studies, UCSB) for a post-screening discussion of Nickel Boys. The story takes place in Tallahassee in 1962 as Ellwood and Turner navigate life at Nickel Academy, a racially segregated labor camp posing as a reform school for children. The film offers a powerful reflection, as it’s shot and told in a first-person point of view.
