Independent Lens: More Than A Month

More Than a Month is a feature documentary film that follows Shukree Hassan Tilghman, a 29-year old African-American filmmaker, on a cross-country campaign to end Black History Month. Through this tongue-in-cheek journey, the film investigates what the treatment of history tells us about race and equality in a “post-racial” America. Combining cinema verité shooting, first person narration, expert and man-on-the-street interviews, archival materials, and graphics, More Than a Month creates a cinematic journey in the vein of documentaries like Roger and Me, Sherman’s March, or Blue Vinyl.

Independent Lens screenings are presented at BMAC the second Thursday of each month, in collaboration with BCTV and Vermont Public Television, and supported in part by the Vermont Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
