Fair Housing Through The Lens Of Film

Emily Stubb

A virtual film festival next week will examine housing discrimination through the lens of film. Raemond Parrott, of Baltimore’s Office of Equity and Civil Rights, previews the motion pictures and discussions and tells about the pandemic-related complaints his office is investigating.

Then, filmmaker Emily Stubb describes “Deserted,” a documentary that follows West Baltimore activist Anthony Francis. Francis says growing up in a food desert shapes how children think about connecting to food. View the trailer https://vimeo.com/291502660">here. The film will be shown next Wednesday at 10 am.
