Our prevention education film, Alpha Centauri , which centers the impact of sex trafficking on Black girls, is an official selection at the Black August Film Festival in Pasadena! The “Black August Film Festival is more than a film exhibition—it is a platform for education, dialogue, and cultural preservation. Rooted in the legacy of Black August, the festival honors history while uplifting contemporary narratives that explore social justice, identity, resilience, and creativity. Each year, the festival brings together filmmakers, artists, community leaders, youth, and audiences from across the region and beyond. The Black Guerilla Family began Black August in San Quentin State Prison in 1979. A group of incarcerated individuals came together to commemorate the deaths of Pasadena resident Jonathan P. Jackson (d. August 7, 1970) in Marin County, CA, and his brother George Jackson (d. August 21, 1971) at San Quentin State Prison.”
Alpha Centauri will be screened on Saturday, August 15 at 4:30pm.
