Shukree Hassan Tilghman, a 29-year-old African-American filmmaker, is on a cross-country campaign to end Black History Month. Through this tongue-in-cheek journey, “More Than a Month” investigates what the treatment of history tells us about race and equality in a “post-racial” America.
More Than a Month is not just about a yearly tradition, or history, or being black in America.

It is a film is about discovering oneself.
