The Resistance & Joy Screening Tour is a bold new initiative presenting a powerful slate of twelve short documentaries, all directed by filmmakers of color. These films explore urgent and deeply personal themes, from LGBTQ+ rights and intergenerational healing to advocacy, cultural preservation, and the resilience of communities reclaiming spaces.

Scribe will be screening the two Color Congress curated film collections entitled Reclaiming Identity and Reclaiming Power. 

Reclaiming Identity: Stories of LGBTQ+ love and resilience, intergenerational healing, and communities reclaiming their spaces. These films center on personal and collective journeys of self-discovery, healing, and belonging. Through intergenerational storytelling, bold artistic expression, and lived experiences, filmmakers reclaim narratives that have historically been erased or silenced.

DOCUMENTARY | 1 hour 12 mins | 2025

Reclaiming Power: Explorations of activism, cultural preservation, and collective action in the face of systemic injustice. These films highlight activism, social justice movements, and the fight for equity across different communities. From cultural preservation to political resistance, these stories showcase the ways people organize, resist oppression, and work toward change.

This collection features SOMETHING ABOUT THESE WATERS directed by Malaya Ulan.
