If you’re in New York City tonight, go see Polish director Tomasz Magierski’s documentary, “My Father the Luo.” The film revolves around Roma Ndolo, a young Kenyan-Polish woman and her attempts to connect to her father’s homeland. The film, judged on the trailer, above, also comments off the rise of a famous son of a Luo, Baracjk Obama, to the the American Presidency.
The film will be screened at the CUNY Graduate Center tonight.
