A light reception will be provided before the viewing at 5:00 pm in the Potoscnak Family Atrium. The Chicago Campus viewing is open to all Northwestern students, staff and faculty. Please note that registration is required to attend.

Team Dream, the first documentary short from the 2022 Queen Collective program, was executive produced by Queen Latifah and directed and produced by Luchina Fisher, an award-winning director, writer and producer whose work is at the intersection of race, gender and identity. Fisher’s film follows Ann and Madeline who are 82 and 77 years old, respectively, revealing that nothing—not age, race, and certainly not Chicago’s notorious weather—will stop them from training for the National Senior Games, where they will likely be the two of the few Black women competing in the swim events. “You are never too old to dream.”

This event is sponsored by Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine Office of Diversity and Inclusion. For more information, please contact: diversitymed@northwestern.edu.
