Film Screening & Discussion: The Inquisitor

ACM Beyond The Exhibition presents a film screening and discussion together with Allen Chapel AME, WETA and The ACC.

Explore the life and legacy of Barbara Jordan in The Inquisitor. Jordan was a groundbreaking Texas congresswoman whose sharp intellect and moral clarity transformed U.S. politics. From Nixon’s impeachment to civil rights battles, her voice demanded accountability, while she privately faced struggles few ever knew of. The film will be followed by a discussion with the audience and light refreshments.

This Indie Lens Pop-up event is presented in partnership with WETA, Allen Chapel AME Church, and the Anacostia Coordinating Council.
