Miss Juneteenth

Pre-recorded introduction by Series Curator Tayler Montague

A former beauty queen, now struggling to make ends meet as a single mom, prepares her rebellious teenage daughter for the “Miss Juneteenth” pageant. This debut feature film from director Godfrey Channing Peoples stars Nicole Behari (42) and newcomer Alexis Chikaeze as a mother and daughter whose bond is tested as each works to define who they are and what they want out of life. Miss Juneteenth is a quietly profound and loving depiction of a working-class black family.

"Miss Juneteenth benefits from subtle, offhand performances from Beharie and Chikaeze; as a portrait of a community, it's layered and rich."
