Circle Cinema, 10 S. Lewis Ave., will show “Miss Juneteenth” on Mother’s Day on May 12, 4:30 p.m. Free admission will be provided to all mothers.
The film features a former beauty queen turned hard working single mom as she prepares her rebellious teenage daughter for the Miss Juneteenth pageant. She hopes to keep her daughter from repeating the same mistakes in life that she made. The movie was released in 2020 during the Covid 19 pandemic.
The Circle Cinema says it “is proud to bring this excellent film about the strength of a mother/daughter relationship to the big screen for the first time.”
“A search for freedom and a sororal spirit pulse through ‘Miss Juneteenth.’” said in a review in Empire Magazine.
“Calmly navigating the intersections of a Black, working-class, American woman, the film’s director Channing Godfrey Peoples ensures care, heart and hope are in every step.”
