About this event

Join UATL, The Atlanta-Journal Constitution’s Black culture team, and a who's-who of invited guests as we celebrate Black culture in cinema during our quarterly Movie Night.

This special event will take place at Plaza Theatre in Midtown Atlanta, and invites all ATLiens to come together and enjoy an unforgettable movie experience. The screening will be immediately followed by a live conversation with special guests, including team members from our WNBA team, the Atlanta Dream. There will also be time for audience questions.

Let’s celebrate "Love & Basketball" – the movie, the game and the culture – together!
