PW2021 Adult #31: HOW TO SAVE BLACK BOYS (Horror – Black #OwnVoices)
Jordan Peele’s US meets MY SISTER THE SERIAL KILLER
Calla thinks it’s impossible to keep a black child safe. She’s right. Still, she does her best to raise her youngest brother, Jamie, with the fickle support of her middle brother. She’s finally getting used to parent-teacher conferences and teenage theatrics when Jamie’s Black Lives Matter activism starts with an explosion and ends with a very dead cop.
Her brothers think they can trust Calla to save them again when she takes them on the run to a remote cabin. They’re wrong. Calla is fed up with their secrets and her sacrifice.
It’s just so hard keeping black boys alive.
