Incendiary by Dave Harris

Directed by Reginald L. Douglas

Monday, October 7^th 7pm Hamburg

 

Tanya is on a mission to save her son from death row and she’s wiling to do whatever it takes to break him free–acquiring an armory, getting her mind and her body right, and even saying goodbye to her daughter. But just how far can a mother’s love go? A collision between the absurd and the tragic, Incendiary is a moving and hilarious exploration of love and violence in Black America.
