To Live & Die in BK is a short comedy film about a queer all-Black household. Three roommates, Cyn, Seven, and Erykah, struggle to find a new fourth roommate that they can get along with… and someone who meshes with their leftist, anti-gentrification politics. Backs to the wall, they settle in with someone who turns out to be more than bargained for.

When? Thursday, September 29, 2022 6:00PM-7:30PM
