SUMMARY:(Dis)placement: Fluctuations of Home - The Inheritance
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Film & Television Archive and the UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy present (Dis)placement: Fluctuations of Home. This film series explores the concepts of being housed and feeling at home amid ongoing displacement of communities. \nFeaturing films\, with director Ephraim Asili in-person: \nKindah\nJamaica/U.S\, 2016 \nShot in Hudson\, New York\, and Accompong\, Jamaica\, Kindah traces ancestral threads across the African diaspora\, weaving a meditation on kinship\, autonomy and return. Centered on the Kindah Tree — a living symbol of community among Jamaica’s Maroons — Ephraim Asili explores how land\, memory and resistance shape evolving definitions of home. Blurring borders between past and present\, North and South\, Kindah offers a lyrical reflection on displacement\, rootedness and the spiritual geography of diasporic belonging. \nDCP\, b&w and color\, 12 min. Director: Ephraim Asili. \nThe Inheritance\nU.S.\, 2020 \nAfter nearly a decade exploring the African diaspora\, Ephraim Asili makes his feature debut with this vibrant ensemble film\, set almost entirely in a West Philadelphia rowhome where young Black artists and activists form a collective. “‘The Inheritance’ feels like poetry visualized\,” writes Lovia Gyarkye in The New York Times. Blending scripted drama with documentary reflection on the 1985 MOVE bombing\, the film reimagines home as a political and spiritual inheritance. \nDCP\, color\, 100 min. Director/Screenwriter: Ephraim Asili. With: Nozipho McClean\, Eric Lockley\, Chris Jarell\, Julian Rozzell Jr.\, Debbie Africa. \n  \nAdmission is free. No advance reservations.

SUMMARY:PPC Webinar | Plastic Bottled Water: The Poison We Pay For
DESCRIPTION:*Note* – This is an external event\, not hosted by UCLA\, which may be of interest to our community. \nPlastic bottled water is the most consumed beverage in the U.S. and worldwide. It has become the default option when communities distrust their tap\, lack safe water access\, or are looking for a “convenient” drink. Yet this reliance on plastic bottled water puts human and environmental health at risk while actually undercutting safe\, accessible\, public drinking water—which is an internationally recognized human right. \nOn Wednesday\, August 27\, Plastic Pollution Coalition (PPC) will host a webinar to address how plastic bottled water connects to issues of water injustice\, undermines investment in safe drinking water infrastructure\, and contributes to the growing global water and climate crises. We will hear how activists\, communities\, and cities are taking action to envision a world of safe drinking water access without plastic bottles. \nJoining the discussion will be: Mary Grant\, Public Water for All Campaign Director at Food & Water Watch; Daniel Jaffee\, Professor of Sociology at Portland State University; and Amira Odeh-Quiñones\, Hydrologist and Community Organizer at 350.org’s Caribbean Climate Network. The webinar will be moderated by Sofia Johansson\, Campaign Coordinator at Plastic Pollution Coalition. \nREGISTER HERE
