FOR LOVE AND LEGACY

By A.K. Sandhu

"FOR LOVE AND LEGACY" is as much a love story as it is an activist film.

It explores the nexus of art, race, and legacy through the personal journeys of Dana King and Fredrika Newton. Dana sets out to create the first-ever public sculpture honoring BPP’s co-founder, Huey Newton, an inspiration to many, and husband to Fredrika. Blending intimate verite scenes with the meditative sculpting process, the film juxtaposes personal and collective memories. We begin in Dana’s studio, journey through Fredrika’s memories, and end in the community, in a moving verité scene of the dedication ceremony of this now public art in West Oakland.
