“We need to keep everything in our neighbourhood — everything — Black.” An impactful coming-of-age story about choices provided and choices made, John Singleton’s directorial debut BOYZ N THE HOOD was one of the films that set the standard for ‘90s hood films and perfectly captured South Central in a particular time and space. Perpetratin’ Realism: 1990s Black Film celebrates a new wave of Black filmmakers who drew audiences with their bold exploration of Black rage and desire. Coming to TIFF Bell Lightbox in February 2023. 🎬
