Description from Harlem Stage: “finding the 51st (dream) state: Sekou Sundiata’s America Project” recounts Sundiata’s national and communal search to confront, imagine and invent what it means to be American in the 21st century. The 30-minute documentary reveals how this visionary poet, performer, educator and activist found “a clearing” and “a way to see” through conversations in small scale public gatherings, in classrooms and in art centers - and in the process created groundbreaking theater about democracy and citizenship.

The screening is free and will be followed by a conversation between special guests and audience and a reception.
