Wedding Band: A Love/Hate Story in Black & White

Written by: Alice Childress

Directed by: Gregg T. Daniel

ADVISORY

Recommended for Ages 16+

Set in the South against the backdrop of World War I, a black woman and white man celebrate ten years together: a relationship that expressly violates America’s “miscegenation” laws. As they struggle to live a normal life amidst fear of discovery and of being fined, imprisoned, or lynched, the limits of love, tolerance, and humanity are tested in this unflinching work.
