Extra #2: The Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019)

Home is one of the most powerful words in any language. It is not simply a place, but a symbol of something more, a visceral feeling of safety, of belonging, of community. So what happens to a person when that place, that community, that belonging is slowly but surely dismantled? In this week’s extra episode, we review THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO. This film confronts the effects of gentrification on identity and belonging through the eyes of tragic hero Jimmie Fails. This film is a swirl of poetry and music made visual, and we just had to talk about it.
