Join Thomas Allen Harris founder and President of Chimpanzee Productions for a lively discussion on searching for identity, family and sprituality through sharing family stories and images in a virtual family reunion format  called the Digital Diaspora Family Reunion Roadshow (DDFR). 

DDFR brings to the forefront stories and histories suppressed and/or hidden that show the fullness of Who We Are. This important and timely project provides a gathering place where lost, neglected and discarded shards of history can once again be seen, shared and appreciated. 

A graduate of Harvard College, Mr. Harris lectures widely on the use of media as a tool for social change.

Chimpanzee Productions is currently in production on Through A Lens Darkly: Black Photographers and the Emergence of a People, a feature-length documentary and multimedia project that explores the role of photography in shaping the identity, aspirations, and social emergence of African Americans from slavery to the present.  Its companion project is the Digital Diaspora Family Reunion (DDFR).
