In the powerful 1992 crime drama Juice, four Harlem teenagers get caught up in the pursuit of power and happiness, and their desire for respect. The film follows the daily lives of the quartet as they shoplift, skip school, and get into fights. Only Q (talented actor Omar Epps, in his film debut alongside Tupac Shakur) has a plan for his future—to be a deejay. The screening will be followed by a talkback with three-time NAACP Award winner Epps, who has also starred in Raising Kanan, Shooter, Resurrection, and House, for eight seasons.
The event, on Thursday, February 8th at 7:30 pm, forms part of Lincoln Center’s Beats, Rhymes & Sights series. For further information, visit the Lincoln Center website.
