Once upon a time in South Central L.A... It ain't no fairy tale. In the middle of the Los Angeles ghetto, drugs, robberies and shootings dominate everyday life.

Modeled after our popular Teen Film Council, Film Club at RFC is the grown-up version for adults (18+) that want a place to learn more about the art and business of the film industry. We’ll show clips, get hands-on with film equipment, and discuss practice, theory, and industry trends. There will be 16 weekly sessions and classes are $20 each or $280 for the whole course and include one free movie ticket per week. Plus, since it’s for adults, there will also be a cash bar! RFC’s Film Club will meet weekly on Sundays from 4:30 - 6 p.m. in Robinson Film Center’s 2nd Floor Event Space. Sessions will begin Feb 8 and continue through June 28, excluding holidays.

Step inside the lives of two Black women whose names echo through courtrooms, neighborhoods, and protest lines: Breka Peoples and Omari Ho-Sang. From court dates and jail time for getting Black men to the polls, to being branded a political “threat” for telling the truth about housing, poverty, and power—this film follows how their love for North Louisiana turned into a lifelong fight for justice.
