Filmmaker and actor Eden Marryshow is in Alaska for a tour featuring his film, Caged in the Rain, an event aimed at celebrating Black cinema and bringing people together.
Marryshow says the project was inspired by the loss of his brother and is intended to create spaces where people can connect and feel supported.
“I want to bring this to people who need to be cared about, and we need to get into communal spaces,” Marryshow said.
The event includes a screening of the film, refreshments and an opportunity to connect with local candidates as part of a get-out-the-vote initiative.
The event is being held in partnership with the Alaska Black Caucus.
Those interested can attend tomorrow at the Loussac Library in Anchorage.
