Film Review of Light of Truth: Richard Hunt’s Monument to Ida B. Wells

This is a film review of “The Light of Truth: Richard Hunt’s Monument to Ida B. Wells following the Chicago artist’s creation of a monument to the civil right champion and woman’s suffrage leader.

The film premiered at the 60th Annual Chicago International Film Festival in 2024 and follows his creative process as an opportunity to showcase each of their contributions to society while doing so within the greater context of the history of the African American experience.

Most of the film festival movies are shown only once or twice so this review is aimed at informing you about a production that has some Chicago significance in the hope that you will look for subsequent screenings at other locations in the future. We also hope that this might encourage you to consider attending the Chicago FIlm Festival yourself next year or beyond.
