L.A. Rebellion: Creating a New Black Cinema Tour Comes To Atlanta

 The L.A. Rebellion: Creating a New Black Cinema Tour is a historic collection of films made by African and African American students at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television in the late 1960s, after a decade of rising racial tensions.  These films represent their efforts to respond to the political turmoil of their time with an imaginative and entirely independent cinema.
