Fire Through Dry Grass

Join us for a memorable post-screening discussion with Jim LeBrecht (Executive Producer), Alexis (Co-Director and Producer), and Diana Diroy (Editor.) Moderated by Rosemary McDonnell-Horita!

Wearing snapback caps and Air Jordans, the Reality Poets don’t look like typical nursing home residents. In Fire Through Dry Grass, these Black and brown disabled artists document their lives on lockdown during Covid, using their poetry and art to underscore the danger and imprisonment they feel. In the face of institutional neglect, they refuse to be abused, confined, and erased.
