Half conspiracy thriller, half Kafkaesque ghost story, ADDRESS THE BODY! offers an Afropessimistic examination of slavery and repatriation at the heart of America’s most prestigious university.
By Zachariah Ezer
Directed by Dominique Rider
Half paranoid conspiracy thriller, half Kafkaesque ghost story, Address the Body! takes a bracing look into the banalest of evils: the university bureaucracy. When Cree and Blair, the only two Black members of The Presidential Committee on Slavery and its Afterlife, notice something amiss at their new work-study job, they uncover a racist plot at the heart of America’s most prestigious university. Lost African legacies, treasonous Latin mottos, and experimental Japanese technology come together in this Afropessimistic examination of slavery and repatriation.
Contains mature language and themes.
