Started by Speller Street Films and The Luminal Theater, and in partnership with Seed&Spark, BLK Docs is an initiative to help build an authentic documentary film culture within the African American community through film screenings, online classes, webinars, and more.

Starting off the series is Christopher Everett’s timely, impeccable documentary WILMINGTON ON FIRE

June 25 - July 2, 2020

In 1898 in Wilmington, NC, an armed mob of Democrat-backed white supremacists opened fire on thriving middle-class African-American neighborhoods, slaughtering hundreds and exiling thousands out of the city for good.  Now, using rare photographs, original research, and testimonies from the descendants of the victims, the truth is finally revealed on how the Wilmington Massacre became the springboard for white supremacy and Jim Crow throughout the United States, and how the devastation still affects Black American life to this day.

all BLK Docs virtual screenings include an exclusive sneak peek at WILMINGTON ON FIRE: CHAPTER II
