We Demand (Claudrena N. Harold & Kevin J. Everson, 2016) comes to The Criterion Channel!

Filmed on the campus of UVA where the historic moment transpired more than fifty years ago. Presented as part of Everson & Harold’s Black Fire series, We Demand can be streamed right here.
Cast as Phil in The Drama Company NYC’s production of Almost, Maine (by John Cariani).
