The Black Sea
STARTS NOVEMBER 29
Khalid, a charismatic big dreamer from Brooklyn with no follow-thru gets stuck in a small Bulgarian resort town on the Black Sea after chasing a fast cash opportunity that goes awry. As the only black guy around, he becomes the center of the town's curiosity. His New York City street bop is all he has to survive and figure out how to get home. But in his pursuit he finds connection in a way he never expected. Directed by and starring Derrick B Harden. (R)
"For Harden, it’s an impressive debut that raises questions about the difference between a tourist, refugee, and immigrant, and explores how sometimes you have to travel a long physical distance to find what’s always been inside yourself." Austin Chronicle
