Fists of Mothers
An action film about what happens when two mothers have an awkward conversation about a playdate that turns violent. A fun ride about Black maternal rage, a release for what we’re unable to do in real life — be angry, be messy in the face of both spectacular violence enacted on us and our families as well as the micro-aggressions that have a hidden violence that cuts deep.
