Conversations on the Colononial Past"Through time, into the darkest hours of humanity, the documentary deconstructs the making and masking of history, digging deep into the exploitative and genocidal aspects of European colonialism, from America to Africa and its impact today."We live in a changing society filled with increasing social unrest, conflict, and inequality. How did we get here? How has the past shaped our present, and can a deeper understanding of uncomfortable histories guide us towards a better future? Join us for the screenings of Exterminate All The Brutes, a powerful four-part documentary series by esteemed filmmaker Raoul Peck, which details European colonialism’s exploitative and genocidal characteristics across America, Africa and beyond. Peck’s work supports us in examining how history has been constructed and continues to inform our present world.
