This documentary explores the topics of Systemic racism, white privilege, the termination of truth, and the selection of community symbols. Set in the filmmaker’s hometown of Louisville, Statues considers America’s current state of intense polarization through the lens of seven public meetings that were convened to determine what is appropriate public art today. Like the classic Rashomon, Statues reveals that history and truth can be slippery. 2021, U.S., DCP, 58 minutes. Recommended for 16+.

Followed by a post-screening discussion.
