SYNOPSIS: Orphaned at a young age, Mike Burden (Garrett Hedlund) has spent years living on the margins of society under the spell of manipulative Ku Klux Klan leader Tom Griffin (Tom Wilkinson). Rising through the ranks of the hate group to the status of Grand Dragon, Mike has become one of Griffin’s most loyal lieutenants, and he proudly assists in the opening of a museum celebrating the Klan’s horrific legacy in the center of their small South Carolina town. But once the storefront is open for business, long-simmering racial tensions threaten to finally boil over.

Enter the idealistic Reverend David Kennedy (Academy Award®-winner Forest Whitaker), who vows to do everything in his power to maintain order—yet Kennedy’s inner resolve is tested once a former enemy comes to him seeking guidance. After falling in love with a courageous single-mother (Andrea Riseborough) and reconnecting with a high-school acquaintance (Usher Raymond), Mike ultimately chooses to abandon his long-held beliefs, leaving behind his violent past in the hopes of building a brighter future.

Soon, both Burden and Kennedy find themselves on a collision course with Griffin, who is determined to lure Mike back into the fold—or to see him punished for his betrayal. Penniless and desperate, Burden relies on Kennedy to help him escape a terrible fate. In the face of grave threats to himself and his family, the resolute Kennedy sets aside his own misgivings and bravely pursues a path toward peace, seeing in Mike a chance to save a lost soul and to heal his wounded community.

DC Readers: Attend A Free Early Screening Of Apple TV+ Series 'Little America'

We're happy to offer our DC readers the chance to attend a free early screening of Applet TV+ series, Little America. The anthology is exec-produced by The Big Sick's Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon and was recently featured in The Washington Post.

SYNOPSIS: Everyone came here from somewhere else. There were the Pilgrims and the Irish; the Jews and the Puerto Ricans of New York; the refugees from Southeast Asia and the Central American migrants of today. Even Native Americans crossed the Bering Strait some 16,000 years ago. This is the basic American idea — an identity and a country open to all — but it can be easy to forget from inside. And that’s when politics can turn ugly with the rise of a narrative of intolerance about blame and fear. Epic Magazine published a collection of immigrant stores called “Little America” to counter that narrative with a fuller portrait of our most recent arrivals. These were not necessarily classic “immigrant stories,” but rather stories told by immigrants about their lives. This collection of articles is the basis for the show – Little America.

From Executive Producers Lee Eisenberg (Good Boys, SMILF), Kumail Nanjiani and Emily Gordon (The Big Sick) and Alan Yang (Master of None, Forever), Little America is an 8-episode anthology scripted series inspired by true authentic stories of immigrants in the United States. It's not about telling “immigrant” stories - these are human stories that feature immigrants. The show will cover the full range of human emotion, some will be funny, some tragic, but all will have some sense of hope. Each episode is a standalone with its own unique story.  Over 90% of the writers and directors are either immigrants or the children of immigrants.

The screening takes place tomorrow, February 11th at 7:00pm at Landmark E Street, where free concessions and a photo booth will be made available! If you'd like to attend, simply go to Gofobo site here. Please remember all screenings are first come first served and you will need to arrive early to ensure seating. Enjoy the show!

Every night, Christmas Flint (Mckenna Grace) sits under a starry sky with a flashlight, signaling to extraterrestrial visitors that never arrive.

When Christmas learns that the winners of the annual Birdie Scout Jamboree talent contest will be included on a recording to be sent into space for posterity, her mission in life becomes to join the Scouts and win Jamboree.

When she is blackballed by the snobbish local Birdie Scout troop and their uptight leader Miss Massey (Allison Janney), Christmas rallies a group of elementary-school outliers to start their own chapter. With grudging help from her dad’s irascible office manager, Miss Rayleen (Viola Davis), Christmas and her crew have to bypass every roadblock Miss Massey can find in the fine print of the Birdie bylaws in order to reach the Jamboree and their chance at immortality.

SYNOPSIS: A powerful and thought-provoking true story, “Just Mercy” follows young lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Jordan) and his history-making battle for justice. After graduating from Harvard, Bryan had his pick of lucrative jobs. Instead, he heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned or who were not afforded proper representation, with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley (Larson). One of his first, and most incendiary, cases is that of Walter McMillian (Foxx), who, in 1987, was sentenced to die for the notorious murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite a preponderance of evidence proving his innocence and the fact that the only testimony against him came from a criminal with a motive to lie. In the years that follow, Bryan becomes embroiled in a labyrinth of legal and political maneuverings and overt and unabashed racism as he fights for Walter, and others like him, with the odds—and the system—stacked against them.
