FILM SCREENING: THE ONE AND ONLY DICK GREGORY

FILM SCREENING: THE ONE AND ONLY DICK GREGORY Saturday, Feb. 5th | Oriental Theatre | 4 p.m.

Directed by Andre Gaines, The One and Only Dick Gregory is a fea- ture-length documentary examining activist, pop-culture icon, and thought leader Dick Gregory, whose work as a self described “agitator” shaped a generation demanding justice. As a renowned Black come- dian, Gregory had a platform to take on the most incendiary battles of hunger, gender equity, and civil rights – stirring trouble and making headlines in the service of social justice. The film features Gregory’s personal reflections, archival footage, and interviews with the artists he influenced – including Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, and Wanda Sykes.
