Queen & Slim tells the gripping story of two young African Americans whose first date takes a harrowing turn. What begins as a routine traffic stop escalates into a tragic, life-altering event. Daniel Kaluuya, widely recognized for his role in Get Out, stars alongside Jodie Turner-Smith in this powerful and poignant film.
As the two near-strangers flee together after a fatal altercation with the police, they embark on a journey that not only challenges their survival but also blossoms into an unexpected tale of Black love. Queen & Slim explores the harsh realities of systemic injustice while portraying the tender, evolving connection between two people unfairly labeled as criminals.
The film is a bold commentary on the intersection of race, love, and survival in modern America, resonating deeply in today’s social climate.
