SUMMARY:SAAACAM April Film Club “The Blind Stigma: Mental Health within the Black Community”
DESCRIPTION:“The Blind Stigma” is an award-winning film that made Canadian history by being the first documentary produced in Canada that discusses mental health within the Black community. It chronicles and testifies the stories of five individuals on their trials and triumphs with mental health. Each story is told bravely and effectively with additional context provided by mental health professionals\, religious leaders\, caregivers\, and your everyday citizen. Within the Black community\, mental health is deemed as a ‘Swept Under The Rug’ stigma that has been creating false illusions and assumptions for a long time. \n  \nThat stigma is the core component of the Black community’s response to mental illness\, and therefore those who suffer from mental illness are less likely to seek treatment. As a result very few studies have been done on the impact of mental illness in the Black community. This film powerfully removes the veil of shame that clouds the topic of mental illness in the Black community\, challenges the misconception\, and gives a voice to those living with mental illness. \nDirectors: Stacy-Ann Buchanan\, 2023\, NR\, 60 mins \n  \nImmediately following the film\, join us for the lively panel discussion with our panelists who will provide insight as well as mental health resources available to the San Antonio community. \n  \nADMISSION IS FREE\, BUT PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED!\nThe doors to The Little Carver open at 5:30pm\, and the film begins at 6pm.

This film\, produced and directed by our friend Yoruba Richen\, who spoke during the SAAACAM panel discussion in November 2024 about the Green Book research\, uncovers the untold story of the only successful coup d’état in U.S. history\, when white supremacists overthrew Wilmington’s multiracial government in 1898. \nThis pivotal new documentary sheds light on a suppressed chapter in American history\, exploring themes of racial violence\, media suppression\, and the enduring fight for democracy and equity.
