Natalie Baszile: Friends and Family
About this Event
FREE, $10-$15 suggested donation
Co-presented with SFPL
From the author of Queen Sugar comes a piercing examination of friendship and loyalty set in a tight-knit enclave in the Bay Area as two best friends find themselves at odds over their beliefs on race, identity, and allyship, especially when it comes to their teenage children. Babs and Nora have spent a decade’s worth of morning walks sharing family secrets, local drama, and advice—everything from tips on lingerie choices to Babs’s suggestions to Nora, a white woman, on how to raise Nathan, her adopted Black son. But their worlds are turned upside down when the cops are called on their kids, leading to a traumatic police encounter for Nathan. Torn between respecting Nora’s boundaries and embodying the values so important to her own family, Babs will make a choice that will shape their lives forever. In conversation with filmmaker and Jingletown Films’ founder Cheryl Dunye. Doors at 2:30pm.
