Join Black Alliance For Peace Baltimore Citywide Alliance and Archive Liberia as we screen the documentary The Land Beneath Our Feet for Black Alliance For Peace’s AFRICOM month of action. This documentary, produced by Gregg Mitman and Sarita Siege, shows lost footage from the 1920s depicting a corporate land grab in the early days of globalization in Liberia, sparking inquiry into how Liberians lost sovereignty over the very land that sustains them.

The screening will be followed by a discussion of the documentary and presentation on the role AFRICOM plays in Liberia, specifically, and West Africa, more broadly in the question of sovereignty and self determination on the continent.
