Actress Kyla Pratt, Director Matty Rich and Exec Dir. Oduduwa Olatunji on the Pan African Film Fest

(Airdate 2/3/25) We celebrate Black History Month with one of the world's most important Black Film Festivals by taking a look at the role of Black arts and culture in a season of fierce anti-Blackness. Kyla Pratt is a true icon for millennials from her leading roles in Disney Channel's The Proud Family, to UPN’s One on One, to the iconic Dr. Dolittle franchise - she is also a PAFF Ambassador. Born and raised in the Red Hook housing projects in Brooklyn, NY, Matty Rich, became highly regarded as the pioneer of Black Filmmakers. He gained major recognition at 19 as an acclaimed writer/director/producer with his award winning film, "Straight out of Brooklyn." His classic film "Inkwell" and his latest "The Birth of the Black Underworld" along with his work in video gaming and as a Professor at AFI continue to highlight his talent. Oduduwa Olatunji is Executive Director of the Pan African Film Festival.
