CLOSING NIGHT!
Beyond the Headlines: The NABJ Journey
Director: James Franklin Blue III
Country: US, Running Time: 40 min
In 2025, the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) will commemorate its 50th anniversary. This milestone presents an opportune moment for the organization to share its illustrious history and vision for the future through a documentary titled Beyond the Headlines: The NABJ Journey. Since its inception, NABJ has been a pivotal organization in providing career development opportunities for Black journalists, students, and communications professionals globally. As a leading advocate for Black media professionals, NABJ has ensured that its members have a voice in the global news media landscape. With a membership of over 4200 individuals, NABJ has been instrumental in advocating for greater representation in newsrooms and the expanding digital media space. Regrettably, the struggle for representation in the newsroom remains an ongoing challenge. While many journalists encounter obstacles in this evolving political climate, Black journalists encounter particularly arduous challenges, as many attempt to suppress our voices. Our film tells the story of the courageous 44 founders and enduring impact theyve had on the media profession.

She Dared to Dream: Ayanna Pressley
Director: Abby Ginzberg
Country: United States, Running TIme: 28 min
Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) has been serving in the House of Representatives since January 2019. But just because Pressley was talented and experienced did not mean her path to politics was smooth. She had dropped out of Boston University to support her mother. Her father struggled with addiction and spent time in her childhood in prison; he ultimately became a professor. Her mother worked multiple jobs to cover tuition at Pressleys elite Chicago private school.
In Congress, Pressley has been a leader in reproductive rights, criminal justice reform, and opposition to Project 2025. She stands for abolishing capital punishment and solitary confinement, and shrinking the US prison population. She has also pushed for student debt relief during the Biden administration and is an outspoken advocate for the Green New Deal and Medicare for All. She sits on the Financial Services and the Oversight and Reform Committees.
Pressley has broken through quintessential barriers for women of color in a state mostly known for dynastic politics. An activist politician, who believes those closest to the pain, should be closest to the power, her own path reflects the lessons learned as a Black woman and a committed representative in Congress. She regularly nurtures her connection to her constituents by holding town halls, visiting schools and local organizations.
