Black Love Series: If Beale Street Could Talk (2018)
FILM SYNOPSIS: 1h 59m / R / Romance, Drama
Based on the novel by James Baldwin, If Beale Street Could Talk is the story of Tish (KiKi Layne), a newly engaged Harlem woman who races against the clock to prove her lover’s innocence while carrying their first-born child to term.
It is a celebration of love told through the story of a young couple and a powerful reflection on injustice, and the lasting impact incarceration has on individuals and families. It reminds us that when freedom is disrupted, entire families and communities feel the weight—and that dignity, advocacy, and human connection are essential to restoring hope and possibility.
Guests are encouraged to arrive early to meet and network with community organizations in the lobby, including Abe Brown Ministries and the City of Tampa.
