Murder in Paris:

Murder in Paris (2021) explores the complicated story of the assassination of anti-apartheid activist Dulcie September on the morning of March 29, 1988, in Paris. A former school teacher, September was serving as Chief Representative of the African National Congress (ANC) to Luxembourg, Switzerland, and France when she was killed. Murder in Paris sheds light on her unsung heroism and significance in the fight against apartheid. With original interviews and never-before-seen archival footage, director Enver Samuel traces a decades-long pursuit of justice, addressing the erasure of her life and contributions, and the omissions in stories of the liberation struggle.

Leonard Cortana (Cinema Studies, NYU-Tisch) and Ricado Jacobs (Global Studies, UCSB) will join moderator Jean Beaman (Sociology, UCSB) for a post-screening discussion of Murder in Paris.
