LOVE JONES Film Screening and Live Podcast
The Mission kicks off 2024 with the first of SIX film screenings, and it starts out lovely with the trendsetting romantic comedy LOVE JONES, the film that cemented Nia Long and Larenz Tate as national treasures in Black America. Relive their poetic Chi-town love affair all over again Saturday, Jan 27 2024 on the big screen (not your kitchen TV) in the sultry confines of The Lounge at World Cafe Live, one of Philly's premiere music/event venues.

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!
