This Friday and Saturday, the Torch Theatre joins the nationwide celebration of Black History Month with the film Ireke: Rise of the Maroons.

Ireke shines a light on the heroic legacy of the Maroon communities, descendants of Africans who resisted enslavement and built independent societies. Through powerful storytelling and visual imagery, Ireke celebrates the enduring fight for freedom and cultural identity.

Ireke: Rise of the Maroons will be shown on Friday, October 17 at 7pm and Saturday, October 18 at 7pm.

The Friday screening will be followed by a special post-show talk with the film’s writer and director, exploring the inspiration behind the story and the importance of preserving untold histories.
