Invisible Imprints

A troupe of performers travel the Great Migration Trail -- Mississippi To Chicago -- with the original piece, “Invisible: Imprints Of Racism” opening the door to emotional conversations in a poignant, powerful documentary, Invisible Imprints

This powerful documentary, an Official Selection at the SR Socially Relevant Film Festival and the Miami Indie Film Festival, follows a troupe of twelve Boston-based spoken-word poets and modern dancers (9 dancers and 3 poets) as they travel from Jackson, MS up the Great Migration Trail to Chicago performing an original piece called "Invisible: Imprints of Racism".

After each performance, they dialogued with audiences as well as Civil Rights veterans, including Frank Figgers, Hezekiah Watkins and Cleo Smith, whose stories are little known. In stop after stop up the Mississippi River, as these dramatic moments unfold on the tour, the film captures the performers' own struggles with race and identity, shedding light on the deeper truths of racial divisions from diverse perspectives.
