SVR: Virtual Film Discussion: The Last Black Man in San Francisco Online
Join us for a discussion of The Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019, dir. Joe Talbot). Jimmie was a child when his family lost the Victorian house his grandfather built in the Fillmore district of San Francisco. As an adult, Jimmie remains fixated on the house, making exterior repairs and caring for the garden, against the current owners' wishes. Yearning for a connection to the last real home he had, Jimmie hatches a plan to reclaim the house.
