Langston Hughes African American Film Festival 2008

In a high profile capital murder case, an African American Studies professor is accused of murdering one of his students, a White woman with whom he had been having an affair. A jury of his peers is led behind closed doors to judge, and ultimately, to be judged. But in this case, the jury gets personal, especially to African American jurors who turn this case into a bitter one-on-one dispute about racial authenticity. The LHAAFF is pleased to welcome back one of Seattle’s talented local filmmakers, Eddie Smith for a screening of two of his newest films and discussion . The screening will be followed by a filmmaker talkback Q&A session.
