It tells the story of the hottest day of the summer in a Brooklyn neighborhood. Although there is a strong sense of community, the primarily African-American neighborhood has two businesses owned by Italians and Koreans. As viewers get to know members of the community, tensions swell and racial violence ensues.
The film was nominated for two Oscars.
The presentation is free and open to the public, and will be moderated by Lindsay Hoffman, associate professor of communication.
