“Looking Back, Loving Forward,” the theme of this year’s Boston Pride celebration acknowledges advancements in gay rights and commemorates seminal historical events like the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. Part of the reflection on LGBTQ history of the last century is the painful absence of what could have been - the blank spaces left by the thousands of people lost during the AIDS crisis, among them trailblazing artists, activists and other cultural icons. The FATHERS Project, a new web series out of San Francisco is imagining a world in which those people never died.

The 21st Roxbury International Film Fest, which kicked off last week, includes nearly 70 films focusing on narratives of people of color from around the world. This year's festival is book-ended by two documentaries: "Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am," a deep dive into the celebrated author’s life and work, And "Don’t Be Nice," which follows a team of young New York City slam poets on their journey to the 2016 National Slam Poetry Championships.
Guests:
Lisa Simmons – Festival Director at the Roxbury International Film Festival.
