Firelight Media & POV proudly host a private screening & reception to celebrate the theatrical release of Ashley O'Shay's acclaimed documentary Unapologetic.
Meet Janaé and Bella, two fierce abolitionists whose upbringing and experiences shape their activism and views on Black liberation. Through their lens, Unapologetic provides an inside look into the ongoing movement work that transformed Chicago, from the police murder of Rekia Boyd to the election of mayor Lori Lightfoot.
