Description
Tina Morton is Assistant Professor of Radio Television & Film at Howard University, and is a filmmaker who helps members of marginalized communities to tell their own stories. Morton utilizes film to document community struggles and as a tool for organizing and mobilization.
Tina’s film credits include:
Severed Souls (2001): A community history documentary and a 13-year personal journey to chronicle community memory of the execution of Corrine Sykes, a 20-year-old North Philadelphia resident wrongly executed for murder and the first African American woman to be legally executed in PA.
The Taking of South Central...Philadelphia (2005): Morton facilitated a South Philadelphia community group to help create a documentary focusing on the widespread issue of gentrification.
Belly of the Basin (2009): A collaborative film with Roxana Walker-Canton on individual stories of survival and struggle in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The film also addresses wider societal politics of race and class within the media's demoralizing portrayal of African Americans, and the physical and psychological displacement of the hurricane upon black, indigenous as well as poor communities.
