About this Event
“Singleton gives us Black female characters and Black female friendship drawn with a nuanced brush. He gave us Black women, not as society wants them to be, but as who they are.” - Nadine Matthews (Shadow And Act) Her name is Justice. Celebrate the 30th anniversary of Poetic Justice At The Revue Cinema!
Still grieving after the M**der of her boyfriend, hairdresser Justice (Janet Jackson) writes poetry to deal with the pain of her loss. Unable to get to Oakland to attend a convention because of her broken-down car, Justice gets a lift with her friend, Iesha (Regina King) and Iesha's postal worker boyfriend, Chicago (Joe Torry). Along for the ride is Chicago's co-worker, Lucky (Tupac Shakur), to whom Justice grows close after some initial problems. But is she ready to open her heart again?
