| Look Back, Then Ahead
(BALi, KulturBahnhof Kassel)

„Do not go gently into that good night; (…) Rage, rage against the dying of the light“ (Dylan Thomas).
Carroll B. Williams, an African American forester of Indigenous descent, looks back on a fulfilling life that he has lived with gratitude despite a discriminatory U.S. society. His activism for equality and his pioneering role as a qualified Black forester testify to his energy, courage, and openness. A sensitive portrait, shot on Super 8 in warm colours and filled with poetic, intimate conversations and memories shared between grandfather and granddaughter.
