Documentary  TV-PG

Few people have had an impact on the arts as much as Willis "Bing" Davis, a highly influential African American artist, educator, and community activist from Dayton, Ohio. Known for incorporating African and African American themes into his work, Davis' art also focuses on social justice issues. He works in a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, ceramics, clay, and found object art. His art often explores the intersection of race, identity, and history, as well as the power of community and collective action. The hour-long documentary WILLIS "BING" DAVIS: REACH HIGH & REACH BACK explores Davis' influence and impact on the art world and beyond. In addition to his artistic pursuits, Davis is a dedicated community activist and educator. He founded the EbonNia Gallery in Dayton, Ohio, which showcases the work of a diverse array of artists and serves as a community gathering place. Today, in his mid-80s, Davis continues to create art, educate others, and promote social justice causes in a variety of ways.
