Passing Strange
Part rock concert, part memoir, part Broadway musical, Spike Lee’s new documentary breaks conventions to tell its story of a young L.A. songwriter’s international journey to self-discovery. A translation to the big screen of the hit Broadway play by Stew, the film is also a profound treatise on black identity. Passing Strange screens again Tuesday June 2 6:30pm.

Sponsors:
Caffe Vita, One Pot, Vita Table
