NOVEMBER 2011Film Night: “Frantz Fanon: His Life, His Struggle, His Work”52 min., EnglishDate: Tuesday 15 November, 7 p.m.Moderator: TBAVenue: *BHCS Room, Bermuda National Library

Frantz Fanon was a psychiatrist, originally from Martinique, who had become a spokesman for the Algerian revolution against French colonialism. Embittered by his experience with racism in the French Army, he gravitated to radical politics, Sartrean existentialism and the philosophy of black consciousness known as negritude. His 1952 book, ‘’Black Skin, White Masks,’’ offers a penetrating analysis of racism and of the ways in which it is internalized by its victims.

A documentary film about the capture of German submarine U505 off the coast of West Africa on June 4th, 1944. The Germans never learned of its capture and it was secretly towed to Bermuda. From information gleaned from the boat, the Allies were able to pinpoint the positions of all German U-boats in the Atlantic. The crew were kept incommunicado and against the rules of the Geneva Convention. The captain Harold Lange was a secret POW in Bermuda and was the last prisoner ever held here.
