“Powerful. A benchmark for a new wave of Black American cinema in the early 1990s.”
—Ashley Clark, curatorial director at the Criterion Collection
Cuba Gooding Jr., Laurence Fishburne, Ice Cube, and Angela Bassett headline the stacked cast in this coming-of-age story set in South Central LA of the mid-’80s and early ’90s. This is a film that truly immerses you in its world. Written and directed by John Singleton. The first screening will be introduced by Singleton biographer Mark D. Cunningham. In 35mm.
This project is supported in part by an Elevate Grant of Austin Arts, Culture, Music and Entertainment.
