Barry Jenkins brings us his highly anticipated next feature, an adaptation of James Baldwin’s stunning novel, 'If Beale Street Could Talk'. In early 1970’s Harlem, Tish, a nineteen-year old girl, is in love with a young sculptor, Fonny, the father of her unborn child. When Fonny is falsely accused of rape and imprisoned, Tish and their families race to clear his name before the baby is born. A story about love persisting in the face of racial oppression and injustice, Jenkins brings together a talented young cast which includes Stephan James as Fonny and newcomer Kiki Layne as Tish.
