CineNoir: Black Voices in Film presents NORTH LOUISIANA RISING

  • Robinson Film Center 617 Texas Street Shreveport United States (map)

Activism in Action:
NORTH LOUISIANA RISING - The Queen Advocate Series

Step inside the lives of two Black women whose names echo through courtrooms, neighborhoods, and protest lines: Breka Peoples and Omari Ho-Sang.  From court dates and jail time for getting Black men to the polls, to being branded a political “threat” for telling the truth about housing, poverty, and power—this film follows how their love for North Louisiana turned into a lifelong fight for justice. Documentary, 47m, NR.

The screening will take place in Theater 1, RFC’s 124-seat capacity theater, followed by a Q&A with Breka Peoples, Omari Ho-Sang, and Director Eugene Collins.

Robinson Film Center, in partnership with Mahogani Media, proudly presents the 2026 CineNoir: Black Voices in Film series! For its third year, this annual showcase will close out Black History Month with a celebration of the rich and diverse tapestry of Black culture through visual storytelling. The weekend event will feature a curated selection of inspiring and insightful studio-released and independent features, as well as short films created by Black filmmakers from our region and beyond.
