Sign My Name to Freedom: A Documentary in Progress
Join us Saturday, April 13th at 2pm at the Richmond Museum of History & Culture for a captivating event that will shed new light on local-icon Betty Reid Soskin.
This FREE event will showcase an exciting forthcoming documentary , a feature-length film about 102-year-old Betty Reid Soskin, her lost music, and her family's experiences confronting Jim Crow style workplace and residential housing segregation in the Bay Area.
The film will be a documentary hybrid, drawing on Betty's extensive photo archive and footage shot with her over many years, but it will also include dramatic recreations with actors to depict pivotal moments in her life that were never documented. It centers on a secret Betty had kept for more than 50 years: her life as a singer-songwriter during the 1960s–70s, when she wrote autobiographical songs to process her experiences as the first Black family to move across the color line into Walnut Creek when it was racially segregated.
In addition to exploring lesser known aspects of Betty’s life, the project will also release an album of Betty’s unreleased songs to the world for the first time, and it takes viewers along with Betty on her journey to explore her lost music in her 90s by partnering with musicians from around the Bay Area.
Film director Bryan Gibel met Betty in 2016 and encouraged Betty to bring out taped recordings of her music that had been buried in the back of her closet for decades. Over the past eight years he and his crew have been working with Betty and her family members to capture her story and bring this documentary to completion.
The evening's free program will include a 24-minute preview sample of the film, Q & A with film director Bryan Gibel and other members of the team, and information about
Don't miss this opportunity for a sneak peak at a documentary in progress that sheds light on the struggles and triumphs of iconic Betty Reid Soskin. Join us at the Richmond Museum of History & Culture and be inspired by the stories that shape our world.
