SUMMARY:Mumia: Long Distance Revolutionary Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join WorldBeat Center on December 21st from 6-8:30pm for a night of political education on the lessons we can learn from the Black prison movement. We will screen Mumia: Long Distance Revolutionary and discuss and answer questions. \nAbout the film \nBefore he was convicted of murdering a policeman in 1981 and sentenced to die\, Mumia Abu-Jamal was a gifted journalist and brilliant writer. Now after more than 30 years in prison and despite attempts to silence him\, Mumia is not only still alive but continuing to report\, educate\, provoke and inspire. Stephen Vittoria’s new feature documentary is an inspiring portrait of a man whom many consider America’s most famous political prisoner – a man whose existence tests our beliefs about freedom of expression. Through prison interviews\, archival footage\, and dramatic readings\, and aided by a potent chorus of voices including Cornel West\, Alice Walker\, Dick Gregory\, Angela Davis\, Amy Goodman and others\, this riveting film explores Mumia’s life before\, during and after Death Row.

SUMMARY:Plant Spirit Meditations & Tea Tastings
DESCRIPTION:A Circle of Beloved Belonging \nThe purpose of the meditation and tea tasting is to connect deeply to the self\, the earth and the green kingdom. To feel the universal energy that flows through all beings – humans\, animals\, plants & trees and the elements of earth\, water\, fire and air. This connection\, this belonging to ourselves and to the earth is our birth right and lineage.\n \nOur modern culture has lost this connection at the deepest level. Yet\, the connection remains. The way forward is by re-connecting and remembering who we are in the circle of life.  \nYou will learn how to taste tea like an herbalist. \nThe tea tasting is a way of waking up to the inner knowing\, the thinking and intelligence within our bodies. This knowledge allows us to connect to the plants\, to hear the plants\, to know the plants. \nWhat to bring \n\nA cushion\, blanket or towel to sit on. A blanket if you might get cold. \nA cup for tasting herbal tea. \nA journal or something to write in. \nWear comfortable clothes. \nYour beautiful self to feel the love of the earth.\n\n

SUMMARY:Bam Bam (The Sister Nancy Story)
DESCRIPTION:San Diego Film Festival Presents \nThe hit reggae song ‘Bam Bam’ is considered an anthem of the genre and one of the most sampled reggae vocals of all time. The woman behind the voice\, Jamaican dancehall legend Sister Nancy\, was deceived for decades and denied the royalties that were rightfully hers. Despite the challenges in her path\, she persevered and is an in-demand artist today\, touring the world and spreading joy through her music to sold-out crowds. In BAM BAM: THE SISTER NANCY STORY\, award-winning filmmaker Alison Duke (Black Community Mixtapes) mixes dynamic tour performances\, insightful interviews with industry figures like Janelle Monae\, Young Guru\, and Pete Rock\, and archival footage of the early dancehall scene to create a comprehensive portrait of Sister Nancy’s enduring prominence in reggae and hip hop. Her music transcends boundaries\, resonating with diverse audiences around the globe\, from reggae and hip-hop enthusiasts to gamers and music lovers. Entertaining and empowering\, Sister Nancy’s story proves that great music overcomes obstacles and that staying true to oneself is the key to success — both in the music industry and in life.

The festival was founded as a concert organized by Prophet World Beat Productions to honor Bob Marley. With time and the support of Moss Jacobs\, it grew into a massive event\, packing the San Diego Sports Arena with reggae lovers from all over. \nReggae has always been the heartbeat of the WorldBeat Cultural Center. Makeda Dread Cheatom\, the center’s founder and executive director\, championed the genre for 25 years as the host of Reggae Makossa on 91X FM\, alongside her crew—Damaja Le\, Dereka\, and Carlos Culture. Together\, they brought the vibes to San Diego with club nights\, boat cruises\, and\, of course\, the annual Bob Marley Day festival. \nAs reggae icons began transitioning\, the festival was renamed Tribute to the Reggae Legends / Bob Day to honor not just Bob Marley but all the pioneers of the genre. The event also introduced two special awards: the Bob Marley Peace Award for community changemakers and the Reggae Legends Award to celebrate living legends still carrying the torch. \nAfter 25 amazing years at the San Diego Sports Arena\, the festival found a new home at Broadway Pier in downtown San Diego. Later\, it circled back to its roots at the WorldBeat Cultural Center with the Exodus Festival\, keeping the spirit alive and intimate. \nReggae music is more than just sound; it’s a movement that uplifts\, informs\, and inspires. Its messages of peace\, love\, and resistance against oppression are as powerful today as ever. At the WorldBeat Center\, we’re proud to keep the legacy of legends like Bob Marley and Peter Tosh alive\, sharing their light with new generations.

SUMMARY:Plant Spirit Meditations & Tea Tastings
DESCRIPTION:A Circle of Beloved Belonging \nThe purpose of the meditation and tea tasting is to connect deeply to the self\, the earth and the green kingdom. To feel the universal energy that flows through all beings – humans\, animals\, plants & trees and the elements of earth\, water\, fire and air. This connection\, this belonging to ourselves and to the earth is our birth right and lineage. \nOur modern culture has lost this connection at the deepest level. Yet\, the connection remains. The way forward is by re-connecting and remembering who we are in the circle of life.  \nYou will learn how to taste tea like an herbalist. \nThe tea tasting is a way of waking up to the inner knowing\, the thinking and intelligence within our bodies. This knowledge allows us to connect to the plants\, to hear the plants\, to know the plants. \nWhat to bring \n\nA cushion\, blanket or towel to sit on. A blanket if you might get cold. \nA cup for tasting herbal tea. \nA journal or something to write in. \nWear comfortable clothes. \nYour beautiful self to feel the love of the earth.\n\n
