July 9 | Film screening of I'm Goin' Home

Join CDFF for a special screening of I'm Goin' Home, a powerful documentary that tells the remarkable true story of an enslaved man's 400-mile journey to freedom on the Underground Railroad—from Senator Henry Clay's Ashland Estate in Kentucky to Canada. Along the way, the film highlights the courage of those who risked everything to help him and offers a deeper understanding of the realities of slavery in America.
