THE INHERITANCE (2020) Tickets: $12 / 3-day rental SYNOPSIS After nearly a decade exploring different facets of the African diaspora — and his own place within it — Ephraim Asili makes his feature-length debut with The Inheritance, an astonishing ensemble work set almost entirely within a West Philadelphia house where a community of young, Black artists and activists form a collective. A scripted drama of characters attempting to work towards political consensus — based partly on Asili’s own experiences in a Black liberationist group — weaves with a documentary recollection of the Philadelphia liberation group MOVE, the victim of a notorious police bombing in 1985. Ceaselessly finding commonalties between politics, humor, and philosophy, with Black authors and radicals at its edges, The Inheritance is a remarkable film about the world as we know it. Genre: Drama Rating: NR Duration: 100min Written and Directed by: Ephraim Asili Starring: Nozipho McClean, Eric Lockley, Chris Jarell, Julian Rozzell Jr. |
