Pepperdine University’s Crest Associates and The Institute of Entertainment, Media and Culture held a free screening for the Maya Angelou documentary entitled “And Still I Rise.”
Malibu resident and accomplished actress Candace Bowen gave the film a thoughtful introduction and, afterward, the film’s directors, Bob Hercules and Rita Coburn-Whack, engaged in a Q&A with screening attendees.
The film premiered to critical acclaim at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, and since has picked up numerous awards from other notable film festivals.
