Ahead of their conference “Beyond Statues,” The Monuments Workshop at UK for a screening of Ghosts of a Lost Cause!
Produced as part of RUX’s Rural-Urban Solidarity Project, Ghosts of a Lost Cause (Murray) focuses on the murder of Breonna Taylor and the failures of the criminal justice system that followed, which thrust Kentucky into the 2020 Movement for Black Lives and required a reckoning with persistent racial disparities in social and economic conditions and outcomes. This film documents the stories of ordinary citizens who chose to fight and explores the quintessential questions - What does it mean to be a Kentuckian? Whose voices and lives matter? What happens when we silence the voices of citizens seeking justice? Produced by Gerry James + Sherman Neal II. Videography by Josh Mauser (KERTIS) + Curtis Franklin. Edited by Seth Hawkins.
The screening will be followed by a conversation with the filmmakers and local community leaders. Get tickets through The Kentucky Theatre!
