DESCRIPTION:Mission District social worker and film maker Robert "Fleetwood" Bowden's 
 30 minute documentary film, Da Cotton Pickas, screens at the 12th annual 
 Bernal Heights film festival multiple times this evening, along with two 
 dozen plus other short films by area cinematographers.\n\nDa Cotton Pickas 
 begins Bowden's exploration of the economic oppression roots of the 
 migration of African-Americans to the Bay Region at the outset of WW2. De 
 facto slavery tied poor Blacks and Whites to the land in the South through 
 the share-cropping lien system. This debt culture succeeded slavery after 
 the Civil War on into the 1930s.\n\nBowden's film digs deep into the 
 origins of the circumstances that launched the Black Lives Matter social 
 movement. If you're intrigued by the expression "40 Acres and a mule," 
 you'll thrill as the relevance it holds for displacement issues today 
 emerges in Da Cotton Pickas.\n\n\nFestival website:
