Demo Day: An Animated Sci-Fi Series Screening

Join Ar Ducao and Brooklyn’s DuKode Studio in a sneak preview of DEMO DAY, a sci-fi animation series exploring issues its creators have witnessed firsthand, including race- and gender-based injustice, research misconduct and institutional betrayal. In “Demo Day,” the latest film in this series, 17-year-old Renella Mendoza tries to escape the complicated grief of her mom’s death by taking a tropical internship recruiting low-income teenagers for a research study. But she then risks their fragile trust by sabotaging the study to prevent her boss, a millionaire financier, from endangering the teens for his own ends.
