A poet, playwright and activist, Sanchez emerged as a seminal figure in the 1960s Black Arts Movement, writing in the name of black culture, civil rights and women’s liberation.
Three documentary films exploring diverse realities of sex workers around the world followed by a closing ceremony of the festival.
