SUMMARY:SAAACAM April Film Club “The Blind Stigma: Mental Health within the Black Community”
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n \n“The Blind Stigma” is an award-winning film that made Canadian history by being the first documentary produced in Canada that discusses mental health within the Black community. It chronicles and testifies the stories of five individuals on their trials and triumphs with mental health. Each story is told bravely and effectively with additional context provided by mental health professionals\, religious leaders\, caregivers\, and your everyday citizen. Within the Black community\, mental health is deemed as a ‘Swept Under The Rug’ stigma that has been creating false illusions and assumptions for a long time. \nThat stigma is the core component of the Black community’s response to mental illness\, and therefore those who suffer from mental illness are less likely to seek treatment. As a result very few studies have been done on the impact of mental illness in the Black community. This film powerfully removes the veil of shame that clouds the topic of mental illness in the Black community\, challenges the misconception\, and gives a voice to those living with mental illness. \nDirectors: Stacy-Ann Buchanan\, 2023\, NR\, 60 mins \nImmediately following the film\, join us for the lively panel discussion with our panelists who will provide insight as well as mental health resources available to the San Antonio community. \nADMISSION IS FREE\, BUT PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED!\nThe doors to The Little Carver open at 5:30pm\, and the film begins at 6pm. \nTo register\, click here.

SUMMARY:Felon: An American Washi Tale
DESCRIPTION:Performed by poet\, lawyer and MacArthur Fellow Reginald Dwayne Betts\, Felon: An America Washi Tale is a powerful solo performance exploring the unexpected significance of paper in the American prison system. The play is about reimagining paper\, from legal documents that initiate and end sentences to “kites” — letters from loved ones providing vital lifelines\, or book pages slid under the cell door of an incarcerated teenager— paper serves as both a burden and a beacon of hope. \nWeaving together traditional theater\, poetry\, fine art and Japanese papermaking aesthetics\, the piece is a meditation of Betts’ own experience with incarceration and his legal advocacy work to free others. This reflection on the challenges of living in the shadow of mass incarceration is a story of violence\, love and fatherhood. The world of Felon is shaped by set design by Japanese paper artist Kyoko Ibe\, crafted from “prison paper” that artist Ruth Lingen constructed from the clothes of men Betts first met in prison as a teenager\, visually extending the play’s reach beyond the artist’s own story to illuminate how incarceration touches us all.
