FIVE ON THE BLACK HAND SIDE screening & live podcast
A deliberate departure from ’70s “blaxploitation” films, this big-hearted dramedy touches on feminism, the Black Power movement, African heritage, and more. Over the weekend of her daughter’s wedding, long-suffering Gladys Ann is moved to confront her domineering husband. But it doesn’t depart too far because there’s a D’Urville Martin sighting!
Join us for a post-screening conversation with Vincent Williams and Len Webb of the local film podcast The Micheaux Mission!
