Institute History
Description
For 77-year-old Sonia Sanchez, writing is both a personal and political act. She first emerged as a seminal figure in the 1960s Black Arts Movement, going on to raise her voice in the name of black culture, civil rights, and women’s liberation as a poet, playwright, teacher, activist and early champion of the spoken word. In BaddDDD Sonia Sanchez, a life unfolds in a documentary rich with readings and jazz-accompanied performances of Sanchez’s work.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
