With director Nicole Franklin in person

Part of Changing the Picture, sponsored by Time Warner Inc.

​Dir. Nicole Franklin. 2017, 72 mins. Digital projection. With Chicava Honeychild, Fidel Vicioso, Brian Anthony Wilson. Sh​e is powerful, Black, and female. But at her firm, Blacks need not apply. The CEO of Sanger International, an IT consulting firm, is the powerful and successful Hillary Kelsey. Kelsey is a Black woman with no Black employees and no one can figure out why—until Darryl Montgomery, her 9:30 a.m. interview, enters the firm. On this day filled with an unbelievably awful morning that reminds Hillary of her “place” in a racially charged society, a pending account that could make or break the future of a company, and a mystery man determined to turn Hillary’s world upside down, the events of the film Title VII illustrate why same-race discrimination can not only ruin a company, but possibly destroy lives.
