Hard To Swallow premiered at CANNESERIES and SeriesFest in the spring of 2024 and will be released in 2025. Essayistic and reflexive, the show recounts Wey’s explosive career while building a critique of the social structures that disenfranchise Black peoples globally. The screening will feature the pilot and finale episode (27 mins each) as well as a digital short, followed by a panel of LOEB Fellows discussing the broader themes of the episodes. The event will end with a Q&A with the filmmakers and a principal subject from the docu-series. The post-screening activities will be recorded, and attendees will receive a jar of spice featured in the show, while supplies last. Digital Short: BABY GOT BANKRUPTCY Baby Got Bankruptcy demystifies the complicated case and journey of Detroit’s bankruptcy, the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S history. Featuring one of the lead attorney’s on the case, the short is candid, cheeky and singular in its conclusion. Episode 1: THIS IS BLACK PEOPLE'S SHIT (Pilot) Tunde reflects on the erasure of Black chefs from New Orleans’ food culture even as tourism and hospitality hold up the city’s economy. Tunde also examines how post-Katrina development, fueled by federal recovery dollars, drove gentrification in the city at the expense of Black New Orleanians. The expert for the episode is an award-winning journalist whose investigation of a food hall guides the episode, but when his interview takes an unexpected turn, the expert himself becomes the subject of examination. Episode 6: YOU'RE IN THE SHOW NOW (Season Finale) The season finale of Hard To Swallow centers on an allegation of racism at the show’s world premiere in Cannes. A week of extravagant dinners and dizzying photoshoots against the lush views of the French Riviera culminate in the red carpet premiere. The festivities continue into the premiere afterparty where things turn sour when members of the Hard To Swallow team are accosted. The fallout from the incident is intense, tedious, and thoroughly documented, but the understanding of the story is up for debate. Noone is safe in this project, as Theo’s motivations come into question and Tunde’s evolving perspective begins to contradict his prior statements.
