FILM: Boyz n the Hood (1991)

When: Thursday, June 13 at 9:00 PM

Where: O Cinema Miami Beach

About: Join O Cinema & Hip-Hop House in celebration of the late John Singleton’s 1991 masterpiece, BOYZ N THE HOOD, as we send one up for the fallen giant of cinema. Serving as an early ’90s clarion call to those unaware of how bad conditions of poverty, substance abuse, gang violence, and systemic racial discrimination had become for young, black men in inner-city environments, Singleton’s BOYZ N THE HOOD might be the most exceptional directorial debut of that decade, earning him two Oscar nominations – one for Original Screenplay and one as Best Director (he was the youngest artist to be honored at the time).
