Join us for this series of Afrofuturist films to celebrate Black History Month at Long Branch Library! We will be showing "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever."

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

After their king died, the people of Wakanda need to protect their land once again. Their enemies are closer than ever and they need to band together as a way to protect their king's name and kingdom. Wakanda is changing and the Queen and her people are aware of what they must do in order to protect themselves. The Queen and her soldiers will come together to develop a new path for their land and country. Rated PG-13.

Afrofuturism is a cultural aesthetic, and philosophy of science and history that explores the intersection of the African diaspora culture with science and technology. It addresses themes and concerns of the African diaspora through technoculture and speculative fiction, encompassing a range of media and artists with a shared interest in envisioning black futures that stem from Afro-diasporic experiences. While Afrofuturism is most commonly associated with science fiction, it can also encompass other speculative genres such as fantasy, alternate history, and magic realism.
