Merawi Gerima Read Bio Collapse
Merawi Gerima is an organizer with the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, fighting police terror and with people power. He also makes films to help build that people power. His 2020 film Residue was about Black resistance to gentrification in his hometown, Washington DC. He is currently filming a documentary about the struggle for Community Control of the Police in Chicago and writing a film about the Alabama Chapter of the Communist Party, which was made up of and led by Black sharecroppers, factory workers, housewives, and unemployed people in the middle of the Great Depression, and which ultimately gave birth to the Civil Rights Movement.
