Join us for a showing of ‘One Night in Miami’ to celebrate Black History Month.
Actor Regina King’s Oscar-nominated 2020 debut feature as a director, set on February 25, 1964, at the Convention Hall in Miami Beach, Fla.,when Cassius Clay — not yet known as Muhammad Ali — defeated Sonny Liston- to become the heavyweight champion of the world.
The film, the first by a female African American director to debut at the Venice Film Festival, is about what happens after the final bell, when Clay and three men who witnessed the fight gather for a low-key after-party that turns into an impromptu seminar on fame, political action and the obligations of Black celebrities in a time of crisis: Malcolm X, Jim Brown and Sam Cooke.
Starring Leslie Odom Jr from Hamilton, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Eli Goree and Aldis Hodge. Rated R.
