- BAM Film 2023 and
- Let The Record Show: Archived Cinema
Co-presented with the Brooklyn Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.
As hip-hop turns 50 and Tupac Resurrection turns 20, we revisit this essential document on one of the form’s essential artists. Tupac Shakur’s brilliance and vulnerabilities are on full display in this intimate record of his life, produced by his mother, former Black Panther Afeni Shakur. With narration pulled entirely from conversations and interviews, Tupac guides us through the extreme highs and lows of his life in his own words, showcasing his captivating mix of charisma, talent, fury, and revolutionary spirit.
Join us for a post-screening Q&A with director Lauren Lazin, writer Nicole Duncan-Smith, and Tupac’s godfather, filmmaker and former Black Panther Party member Jamal Joseph.
