Nickel Boys
RaMell Ross / US, 2024 / 140 min.
On 21 March – International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination – we are screening the devastating film Nickel Boys, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Colson Whitehead. Two young African-American men are forced to endure horrific ordeals at a reformatory. Nominated for two Oscars.
Nickel Boys tells the story of Elwood Curtis, a young African-American boy who, due to systemic racism during the '60s, ends up at the infamous Nickel Academy, where his hopes and ideals are severely put to the test. This film gives us a penetrating insight into racial inequality in the past, and in so doing makes a link to the urgent social issues of today.
