SXSW | A King Like Me Producer Fisher Stevens and Director Matthew O. Henderson in the 2024 SXSW Studio @SXSW | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Take a deep dive into SXSW with our Studio Interviews, where conversations go beyond the boundaries of sessions, showcases, and screenings.
In March, on the heels of a successful Mardi Gras 2020 celebration, the Zulu Krewe - a group of over 800 men, almost all African American, lost twelve members out of over seventy who contracted the COVID-19 virus. The origin story of the film A King Like Me was an interest in discovering the impact of the pandemic on such a stalwart cultural organization, and what that loss could tell us about our country’s health inequities, as tied to race. Diving into the fascinating origin story of The Zulu Club, our speakers begin to uncover the way Black people and Black culture have shaped New Orleans and our nation.
