Experience the raw and unapologetic story of a mother and son navigating the harsh realities of mid-1990s New York City in this deeply American film. Follow Inez as she fights against a gentrifying Harlem, determined to build a life for herself and her son. Winner of the top U.S. Dramatic Prize at Sundance 2023.
Join us for a screening of "In Search of Bengali Harlem" (2022, 85 mins), a feature documentary directed by Vivek Bald and Alaudin Ullah. The film follows Ullah from the streets of New York City to the villages of Bangladesh to uncover the pasts of his father, Habib, and mother, Mohima. Alaudin first discovers that Habib was part of an extraordinary history of mid-20th century Harlem, in which Bengali Muslim men, dodging racist Asian Exclusion laws, married into New York's African American and Puerto Rican communities - and in which the likes of Malcolm X and Miles Davis shared space and broke bread with immigrants from the subcontinent.
Part of our monthly Moonlight & Movies series, the film will be introduced by Vivek Bald and Alaudin Ullah, followed by a discussion with the filmmakers and City of Faith curator, Dr. Azra Dawood.
