Poetic Justice :: Film Screening

SEE EVENT DETAILS

Join us as we celebrate the legacy of the legendary filmmaker, John Singleton with a free screening of Poetic Justice.
Doors at 6:30pm
Film at 7:00pm
On Monday, April 29, John Singleton passed away, leaving behind an undeniable legacy of feature films, documentaries, and episodic television that, above all, authentically captured a segment of American life, way too often ignored.
Poetic Justice is John Singleton's second film (following Boyz n the Hood) and it is a meditation on all forms of black love, from the love between friends, between a couple and self-love. For many of us this was the first time seeing multidimensional black love depicted. Lets watch this film together and celebrate the life of John Singleton!

Poetic Justice:
Still grieving after the murder of her boyfriend, hairdresser Justice (Janet Jackson) writes poetry to deal with the pain of her loss. Unable to get to Oakland to attend a convention because of her broken-down car, Justice gets a lift with her friend, Iesha (Regina King) and Iesha's postal worker boyfriend, Chicago (Joe Torry). Along for the ride is Chicago's co-worker, Lucky (Tupac Shakur), to whom Justice grows close after some initial problems. But is she ready to open her heart again?





Come see this with us!
