Free Film Screening: Poetic Justice

The film follows Justice (Jackson), a poet (grieving her boyfriend’s death), on a road trip with her friend (King) and a postal worker (Shakur). Initially clashing, Justice and the postal worker help each other heal. After Boyz n the Hood , Singleton aimed to give voice to young African-American women and their lives by centering a character who expresses herself via poetry, that was actually penned by Maya Angelou, who has a small cameo in the film.
