Featured attraction: HALE COUNTY THIS MORNING, THIS EVENING + Q&A with director RaMell Ross at ICA (04 DEC 20:30): “As a documentary, it’s informative, emotional and intriguing. As a record of African-American imagery, it’s not just an evaluation of “how we are seen,” it’s also a corrective that replaces stereotypes with visual poetry.” – Odie Henderson at RogerEbert.com.
