The Rebellion of Jamaa Fanaka
 
ABOUT THE PROJECT

Filmmaker Khadijah Fanaka delves into the marred legacy of her grandfather, prolific auteur Jamaa Fanaka, whose fight against industry discrimination led to his erasure from Hollywood history. The story culminates into a testament to the enduring power of family, the cost of truth, and the unyielding spirit of an independent Black cinema pioneer.
