"Aggie" is a documentary that explores the nexus of art, race, and justice through the story of art collector and philanthropist Agnes 'Aggie' Gund's life. Emmy-nominated director Catherine Gund focuses on her mother s journey to give viewers an understanding of the power of art to transform consciousness and inspire social change. 'Aggie' is internationally recognized for her robust and prescient support of artists particularly women and people of color and her unwavering commitment to social justice issues. The film opens with Aggie selling Roy Lichetenstein's 'Masterpiece' for $165 million to start the Art for Justice Fund. The proceeds from one of the highest grossing artworks ever sold fuel a monumental effort to reform the American criminal justice system and end mass incarceration.
