- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 22 Feb, 2026 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Intro seminar available! 

Lorraine Hansberry’s immortal A RASIN IN THE SUN was the first play by a Black woman to be performed on Broadway. Two years later, the production came to the screen, directed by Daniel Petrie.

The original stars—including Sidney Poitier and Ruby Dee—reprise their roles as members of an African American family living in a cramped Chicago apartment, in this deeply resonant tale of dreams deferred. The Youngers await a life-insurance check they hope will change their circumstances, but tensions arise over how to use the money. 

Vividly rendering Hansberry’s sharp observations on generational conflict and housing discrimination, Petrie’s film captures the high stakes, shifting currents, and varieties of experience within black life in midcentury America.

Co-presented by Roxbury International Film Festival, The Secret Society of Black Creatives, NAAC Boston, GlobeDocs!
