Friends of Black feminist writer, filmmaker and cultural worker Toni Cade Bambara come together to share her lessons on art, community and resistance.
Structured as a series of classes in cultural organising, TCB: The Toni Cade Bambara School of Organizing reconstructs the life of a woman whose literary works and film collaborations became a catalysing force in 20th century political movements. Toni Morrison, Nikky Finney and filmmaker Haile Gerima are among those who testify to Bambara's humour, fierce commitment to collective action and gift for galvanising artists into community work. TCB: The Toni Cade Bambara School of Organizing is a warm and stylish portrait that makes a compelling case for why her approach to activism feels as urgent now as it did then.
