The Big Payback

In "The Big Payback", a documentary-action hybrid, the city of Evanston, Illinois takes a bold stand in its fight for reparations, leveraging a cannabis tax windfall to fund a historic campaign that seeks compensation for the descendants of enslaved Africans who were owed 400 years of unpaid labor. Led by Alderwoman Simmons, this grassroots movement sparks a national conversation about long-overdue justice and accountability.
