'Beyond Recognition' Film Screening
The Alameda County Library will be hosting an online Film Screening and Discussion– “Beyond Recognition” via Zoom tomorrow Thursday, March 17 at 6:30 pm. Follow Corrina Gould, Chochenyo Ohlone, as she advocates for protection of her ancestors’ burial places here in the East Bay. When a community occupation of a sacred site does not prevent its desecration, she embarks on a journey to establish the first women led urban indigenous land trust, along with Johnella LaRose and Indian People Organizing for Change. “Beyond Recognition” is a documentary exploring the questions of Native resilience, cultural preservation, and the power of community led movements. Join us in a discussion with Corrina Gould, founder of Sogorea Te’ land trust, and filmmaker Michelle Steinberg after the screening. Film viewing will be available through Vimeo or through DVD checkout at AC library. Registered participants will receive the Vimeo and Zoom links via email.
