Ruth Negga was featured in the 2021 SCAD Savannah Film Festival for her leading role in “Passing.” Directed by Rebecca Hall, “Passing” transports the audience to the 1920s to tell the story of a woman’s changing worldview as she reconnects with a black friend who’s living life as a white woman. This film highlights the ever changing racial experiences through history in an authentic and familiar way. Ruth Negga was a star that many students looked forward to seeing, as her past award nominations are emblematic of a promising future.
