Salli Richardson-Whitfield: “Affirm That You Love Black Art By Supporting ‘KINYARWANDA'”
As the opening of AFFRM’s second feature, KINYARWANDA, hits the big screen, actress Salli Richardson-Whitfield taped a message detailing why the African-American community should support the film. Richardson-Whitfield speaks how she was glad to have been invited to a screening of Alrick Brown’s directorial debut because she wouldn’t have heard about it otherwise.
