Join KCTS 9 and Community Cinema Seattle for a special community screening and engaging discussion of TULIA, TEXAS.

TULIA, TEXAS is the story of a small town's search for justice and the price Americans pay for the nation's war on drugs. In 1999, undercover narcotics agent Thomas Coleman executed one of the biggest drug stings in Texas History. His drug task force arrested 46 Tulia residents--39 of which were African American--on charges of drug dealing.

This screening is co-presented by the Langston Hughes African American Film Festival. Community Cinema Seattle is presented by KCTS 9, KBCS 91.3 Community Radio, Seattle Office for Civil Rights and the Seattle International Film Festival. This event is free and no RSVP is required. SIFF Cinema is located in the Nelsholm Family Lecture Hall on the lower level of Marion Oliver McCaw Hall at Seattle Center in the heart of Seattle's theatre district.
