QUEEN OF GLORY is the story of Sarah Obeng, the brilliant child of Ghanaian immigrants, who is quitting her Ivy League PhD program to follow her married lover to Ohio. When her mother dies suddenly, she bequeaths her daughter a Christian bookstore in the Pelham Parkway section of the Bronx where Sarah was raised. A follow-up on the classic immigrant's tale, Queen of Glory provokes laughter and empathy, as its heroine is reborn through her inheritance.
We are screening QUEEN OF GLORY as part of nationwide festival WHO WE ARE, backed by the BFI and the National Lottery, which celebrates Black cinema from around the world.
