On September 15, 1963, the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama was bombed in a terrorist attack by white racists opposed to integration. Sunday school pupils Addie Mae Collins, Carole Robertson and Cynthia Wesley—all 14 years old—and Denise McNair, 11, were killed. In his acclaimed Academy Award-nominated film, Spike Lee turns a sharp focus on the tragedy by giving us an intimate look into the lives of the four murdered children and those who were left behind to grieve for them.
Free. Tickets will be available at the AFI Silver on the day of the screening.

The presidential race between George W. Bush and Al Gore in November 2000 is re-enacted through first person accounts of campaign workers, advisors, confidants and Al Gore ‘s speechwriters. The confusion over the Florida polls is deconstructed to explain the event that some experts have called the first American presidential “selection.”
