ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI Q & A

Vulnerability is what makes them strong. They’re not cyborgs—they have fears and they actually do have emotions. I think most of the Black men in our lives are like that and we don’t get to see that represented that often, so that was really one of the things that attracted me to it. — Regina King

ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI—written by Kemp Powers and directed by King—is an imagining of the real life meeting of Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir), Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom, Jr.), Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge), and young boxer Cassius Clay (Eli Goree), on the verge of becoming Muhammad Ali.

Join Powers and all four of the film’s leads for an online conversation, moderated by Jacqueline Coley. See links below for Q & A and streaming details.
