Sean Palmer, Pam Blair, Zach Gillis, Jason Miller - On March 28th and 29th, we gathered at the Tribune to watch three films that explore dynamics of race in modern America, and to hear from some thoughtful panelists reflecting on the films. Here on the podcast, we’re releasing the panel discussions for those who weren’t able to join us. We encourage you to first watch the film, and then listen in.
Our third film was BlacKkKlansman. This 2018 film from Spike Lee combines drama, comedy, and satire in the creative retelling of a surprising true crime story that reveals much about our country and its ongoing struggles around racism and equality. Our host through the weekend was Sean Palmer, and our panelists for this film were Pam Blair, Zach Gillis, and Jason Miller.
