WATCH LIST The short documentary film Baltimore Speaks: Black Communities, COVID-19 and the Cost of Not Doing Enough has made its premiere on baltimorespeaks.com. The documentary is the debut film from AphroChic, and it was written and directed by AphroChic founders Bryan Mason and Jeanine Hays. Funded by a grant from Black Public Media, the documentary focuses on the pandemic and its impact on the Black community in Baltimore, told from the viewpoint of Baltimore community members. One of the nation’s largest communities of African Americans, this Maryland city was deeply affected by the COVID-19 crisis. Mason and Hays felt compelled to tell this story, especially in light of the fact that Hays herself has Long COVID. “When we first were awarded the grant to tell the story of Baltimore’s Black community and COVID, we thought this would be a story about vaccine hesitancy,” Mason says. “Instead, we found a city that has a population that is over 60% Black, and within that community over 80% were already vaccinated. Through our interviews with Baltimore’s citizens, community leaders, and health officials, we found a much deeper story, told in their own words.” Mason and Hays produced this short documentary film to collect, acknowledge, and address Black community concerns around vaccination, highlighting the city's accomplishments, recognizing the difficult history of medical mistreatment of Black people, and to present the facts of vaccination. Efforts at widespread vaccination among Baltimore’s Black residents have been largely successful, owing in large part to a unique partnership between the Baltimore City Health Department, extensive medical and academic institutions, and members of the Black community. “We were excited to find that the city’s Black community was tackling vaccine hesitancy head-on through 1-to-1 community interactions, which helped propel vaccination rates,” Hays says. “What reluctance remains around vaccination is primarily due to historic mistrust of the medical community, which is itself rooted in a deep history of mistreatment and neglect.” To view the compelling documentary, go to baltimorespeaks.com. 12 aphrochic
