The Obituary of Tunde Johnson

DATE: October 8-11
TIME: Video On Demand
VENUE: NIGHTSTREAM Virtual Cinema

May 28th, 2020. This is the day Tunde Johnson (Steven Silver, 13 Reasons Why), a gay black teenager living in Los Angeles, comes out to his parents. This is also the day that he will be shot and killed by the LAPD. Then, he’ll wake up and relive the same day, over and over again, frustratingly forced to suffer through similar fates despite making different choices in a frightening reflection of the gay and black experience in America. Featuring one of the best and most radical uses of the time loop narrative device, THE OBITUARY OF TUNDE JOHNSON offers a striking, crucial perspective of a long underrepresented voice paired with an unwavering appreciation for the beautiful moments in life, and a hope for a better tomorrow.
