Third World Newsreel is saddened by the recent shootings in Monterey Park, California, and extends its sympathies to all the families and communities impacted. The year of the rabbit is meant to bring peace, happiness, and health, so this is especially tragic. If you want to help, there is a GoFundMe page.

The first-ever worldwide theatrical retrospective of the complete films of Camille Billops and James Hatch centers Black cultural life and storytelling on screen with six autobiographical works that innovate documentary form and artfully weave together personal histories and social issues.

This worldwide theatrical release is possible through support from the Ford Foundation and the cooperation of Dion Hatch and the Hatch-Billops Collection Estate. The new 4K restoration of Suzanne, Suzanne is by IndieCollect with thanks to Sandra Schulberg, Eva Yuma and team.

ABOUT THIRD WORLD NEWSREEL
Third World Newsreel mourns the passing of two of the members of The Newsreel Collective—John Douglas in 2022 after a long illness and Norman Fruchter this January after a car accident. They were both filmmakers, educators, and activists and made some of the seminal films that we have, including Summer 68, They can be seen in a 2020 talk about the making of that film on TWN's Vimeo channel.
We would like to welcome our Spring intern, Salomé Salcedo Hernández! Salomé is a senior at City College of New York pursuing a degree in Advertising and Public Relations and will be helping us with social media.
