Part historical epic, part Brechtian follies, Mauritanian‑born French director, producer, screenwriter, and actor Med Hondo traces four centuries of French colonialism across the West Indies, Europe, and the Middle Passage, all staged on a wooden slave ship constructed in an abandoned Citroën factory.
Featuring a post-film discussion and a pop-up shop on June 20. This film’s book pairing, 1970—2018 Interviews with Med Hondo, is available for purchase at Alienated Majesty Books, in-person or online.
