A spokesperson describes the event as follows:

"...On the South Side of Chicago in the 1950s, the Youngers have lost their patriarch.

As their family dynamics spin, it soon becomes clear that everyone has different ideas about how the money should be used, causing divisions and mistrust. A stunning American classic that examines how racism suppresses the lives and aspirations of Black families..."
