There is connective tissue between actress and filmmaker Leslie Black and the many black mothers who experience the searing, unbearable pain of losing their children to police violence.
Black can empathize with their oppressive and unrelenting grief, having lost her own mother when she was 10 and her father at 14 and then burying her older sister six months ago.
Black was able to channel her own personal bereavement into a very provocative and enthralling thriller, “Mommas.”
This is an unapologetic and in-your-face film that is centered around four grieving mothers who have reached their breaking point with cops killing their kids unaccountedly.
