    A Riveting Documentary That Reveals the Person Behind the Icon

    August 5, 2025

    A black-and-white film still from TCB – The Toni Cade Bambara School of Organizing shows Toni Cade Bambara leaning against a paisley-printed curtain, gazing directly at the camera. She wears an afro and an open striped vest over a long-sleeve top. Behind her is a board with papers pinned to it and a shelf with books.

    Filmmaker Louis Massiah pays captivating homage to the literary and political star without hagiographic reverence.
