Please join us for a powerful and necessary viewing of The Ebony Canal, the 57th NAACP Image Awards winner for Outstanding Documentary Short Form Film. Narrated by the incomparable Viola Davis and directed by 6-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Emmai Alaquiva, The Ebony Canal is more than a documentary. This transformative film uplifts the voices of Black mothers, families, and advocates, offering an unflinching yet deeply human look at the beauty, resilience, and complexity of the Black birthing experience in America.
