Los Angeles! Saint Heron is inviting you to join us on December 2nd for the screening of Ehtiopian filmmaker Haile Gerima’s Ashes and Embers. The fiercely torrid drama tells the story of a disillusioned Vietnam veteran (Ned Charles) who leaves his girlfriend and grandmother’s farm behind in Washington as he journeys to Los Angeles. While the original plan was to acquire a better life, Ned’s efforts are impeded when he finds himself in serious trouble. Released in 1982, Ashes and Embers focuses on the world-weary cynicism that plagued many veterans of color amidst the shambolic political landscape of that time.
We’re ending the evening with a PROCLAMATION! Party following the screening of Ashes and Embers. As always, we wish to begin our fellowship with some good vibes from everyone in attendance, so Proclamations will be requested at the door.
This special evening is just one week away, so be sure to grab your tickets before they’re gone here.
