The 22nd New York African Film Festival opens with a special preview program honoring the "International Decade of People of African Descent". Join us as we celebrate an exchange between the crème de la crème of interdisciplinary artists from the Diaspora who are lending their voices and insights to the evening. Guests include the socially-conscious wordsmith Blitz the Ambassador, the illustrious duo Les Nubians, who are celebrating their 20th anniversary and Nana Brew-Hammond, author of the innovative novel Powder Necklace. This event is moderated by international journalist Femi Oke.
