📚🍿 COMMUNITY MOVIE NIGHT IS BACK!
We’re kicking off the new school year with Akeelah and the Bee, a story about brilliance, perseverance, community, and believing in our young people.
But before the feature, we’re shining a light on Detroit’s own creative voices with a special screening of the short film To Move in My Mother’s Prayers by local filmmaker Diop Russell . 🎬✨
Join us at The Joy Project for an evening where film, food, and community come together. Come early, bring your favorite chair or blanket, and grab a bite from Chef Ederique Goudia & Chi Walker before settling in for the films.
✨ Special thanks to our partners:
