Check It! Virtual Dialogue

Dialogue & Difference Project and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee present a virtual dialogue event on the documentary Check It (From Filmmakers Dana Flor and Toby Oppenheimer) on September 11th from 6:00-7:30 pm.

“CHECK IT is a powerful and electrifying film, full of characters who exude wisdom, authenticity, and bravado. Their lives beg telling, but this is only half the story.” – Jude Dry, indieWire
