Saturday’s screening is followed by a discussion with special guest, Art Carrington, a contemporary of Arthur Ashe who is featured in the film.

Directors Rex Miller and Sam Pollard explore the enduring legacy of tennis legend and humanitarian Arthur Ashe in CITIZEN ASHE, an elegant and poignant feature documentary. The film charts Ashe’s personal evolution from Grand Slam champion to global activist against a tumultuous backdrop that included the civil rights movement, South African apartheid, and the AIDS epidemic. 

“This warm, sympathetic documentary portrait traces the career of the tennis champion and pioneer who smashed through history.” – New York Times
