Inroads at the Crossroads

Since the city recently took over the Crossroads Theater in Five Points, things have been slow getting off the ground. But the announcement that the Indigenous Film and Arts Festival will be making the Crossroads its home this year is hopeful, as is a new festival side trip, Indie Film at the Crossroads, a monthly film series curated by local filmmaker donnie l. betts. That gets started tonight at 6:30 p.m., when betts presents a screening of Black Indians: An American Story, an award-winning documentary narrated by James Earl Jones and exploring the intermixing of Native and African-American cultures. A panel discussion on issues of mixed ancestry follows the film.
