Born and raised in New Orleans, filmmaker Jonathan Isaac Jackson explores the Mardi Gras Indian culture and its connection to the Black community in "Big Chief Black Hawk," premiering February 16 on America ReFramed from GBH's WORLD Channel.

Jackson: "This film hopefully will be one piece of helping people understand how important connection is and help people have peace with our history. Our Black identity is all connected. We’re not as different as we seem within the African American community.” bit.ly/3Ys6eL5
