A screening followed by a live conversation

The program pairs a 96-minute theatrical screening with an onstage Q&A moderated by Killer Mike. The discussion includes the film’s directors, Laura Dyan Kezman and William Howell, as well as Monique West, identified in the event details as Ty’Rese West’s mother.

For Atlanta audiences, the format makes the conversation part of the evening’s public program. Attendees can see the documentary on a theatre screen, then hear the invited guests take part in a moderated discussion. No additional details about the film’s subject or the Q&A topics are confirmed here.

Killer Mike’s role as moderator is a central part of the event announcement. Kezman and Howell join him onstage, with West also included in the Q&A. The event listing does not provide a confirmed list of questions or a more detailed program for the discussion.

Plan for Friday

Doors open at 6:00 PM, giving guests time for networking and photos before the 6:45 PM screening. The film runs for 96 minutes, followed by the moderated Q&A. The listing does not specify a closing time for the program.
