The kind of movie you'll cogitate over for days

I don't know what took me out of my boob-tube regimen one night, but I went to a streaming service I don't often visit and this movie popped up. Nikki Giovanni became a household figure in the early 70s when my mother bought Giovanni's album of poetry and gospel "Like a Ripple on a Pond."

Though this movie is almost three years old, it's among the best movies I've seen this year (and I've been watching them all). It's available through many of the corporate providers many here avoid, but it's also available on Kanopy if you have a library card. I don't know if the trailer does it justice, but if not... just check it out.
