Blackbird is a film directed by Patrik-Ian Polk and starring Academy Award winner Mo’Nique, Isaiah Washington and Julian Walker. The film is centered around a choir singing young man in high school struggling with his sexuality in a very conservative town in Mississippi. Production teams, spectators, media personnel, close friends and family came out to the private screening hosted at a packed theater at Midtown Art Cinema. Executive producers Mo’Nique and Sidney Hicks, as well as cast members D. Woods, Torrey Laamar and Nikki Jane sat down alongside moderator V-103’s Ramona Debreaux for a Q&A session about the powerful film.
