DANVILLE 1963, LEGACY OF A MOVEMENT is a documentary featuring first-hand accounts of the peaceful Civil Rights protest in Danville on June 10, 1963, that was met with shocking violence by the local police department. It became known as Bloody Monday and was an event that would shape Civil Rights history. There’s a free screening at the Library of Virginia on June 6 from 5:30 to 8:30pm with a panel discussion. Producer Jonathan Parker talks about making the doc.

BEYOND WILDER DREAMS is a new film about L. Douglas Wilder, who was the first Black governor in the country. There’s already one documentary about his political career, but this one puts the emphasis on his personal experiences, including his painting skills. I’m joined by writer/director Brian Bullock and DP Ryan Pace.
