    Based partly on filmmaker Ephraim Asili’s own ex Based partly on filmmaker Ephraim Asili’s own experiences in a Black liberationist group, THE INHERITANCE weaves a scripted drama about a household of artists & activists with a documentary recollection of the Philadelphia liberation group MOVE, the victim of a notorious police bombing in 1985. Ceaselessly finding commonalities between politics, humor, and philosophy, with Black authors and radicals at its edges, THE INHERITANCE is a remarkable film about the world as we know it. Premiere Run! THE INHERITANCE is still available on The Brattlite: brattlefilm.org/brattlite (link in profile) #TheInheritance #TheInheritanceMovie #EphraimAsili #WestPhiladelphia #Philadelphia #collectivedecisionmaking #consensus #BlackLiberation #MOVE #radicalism #radicalpolitics #radicalpoliticalaction
