Presented by Serendipity Institute for Black Arts and Heritage.
Angels on Diamond Street spotlights three women fighting for social justice in an African-American church in Philadelphia.
We follow head cook Mamie Mather, former Black Panther Barbara Easley-Cox and Pastor Renee Mackenzie at the soup kitchen of the Church of the Advocate: a national monument with a rich history in the civil rights movement.
When an undocumented Mexican immigrant family - Carmela Apolonio Hernandez and her children - asks the church for sanctuary, they are welcome with open arms. Pastor Mackenzie courageously defies the ICE immigration authorities in an act of civil disobedience.
A documentary about compassion that invites us to forget about all borders, be they of race, nationality or religion.
