Pip & Zastrow: An American Friendship
Directors: Victoria Bruce, Karin Hayes
US I 2008 I 76 minutes I English

A post-screening Q&A session will feature the filmmakers and Zastrow.

In 1968 when cities across the United States were burning, Annapolis, Maryland, remained calm–thanks to the friendship and work of former Mayor Roger “Pip” Moyer and Joseph “Zastrow” Simms. Pip & Zastrow: An American Friendship is the true story of two men who crossed racial boundaries during segregation in the 1940s and formed a life-long friendship that takes extraordinary turns. With humor, compassion, and heartbreak, Pip and Zastrow navigate through 60 years against the backdrop of the civil rights movement and a country that has yet to overcome deep-seated racism and social inequity.

Presented in conjunction with the exhibition America I AM: The African American Imprint.
