Launched in 2021, The Healing Arts Film and Conversation Series is a collaboration between The Wellness Collaborative Inc (TWC) and the Roxbury International Film Festival using film as a catalyst for conversations integrating physical and mental health in BIPOC communities. TWC’s interdisciplinary approach embraces the power of story and film as a central way to raise awareness and uphold the expressive arts as a pathway for increasing wellness that is rooted in cultural experiences, explored through an equity lens, and celebrated across our communities.

Season 3: Upcoming Event
While the pervasive and rising issues of Black maternal health and mortality grow in both occurrence and awareness, the hidden and complex factors leading to these alarming rates as well as the remaining impact it has on Black families and communities is rarely explored and discussed. This screening of the award-winning film Aftershock produced, directed and co-produced by Tonya Lewis Lee takes on these issues and will be followed by a moderated panel discussion addressing the intersecting discourses on policy, birthing justice, midwives, medical accountability, history and surviving partners and families. The panel will include Tonya Lewis Lee, filmmaker along with a diverse panel representing the role that legislation, advocacy, midwifery, medicine, and community play in the urgent need to preserve and support Black motherhood.
