Miss Juneteenth (2020)

Miss Juneteenth: Directed by Channing Godfrey Peoples. With Nicole Beharie, Liz Mikel, Marcus M. Mauldin, Kendrick Sampson. A former beauty queen and single mom prepares her rebellious teenage daughter for the “Miss Juneteenth” pageant.

“Nicole Beharie shines as an African American mother who wants her teenage duaghter (u0026quot;Chikaezeu0026quot;) to win the Miss Juneteenth pageant and take advantage of the opportunities she was not able to seize in her own life. Peoples uses a delicate touch to tell this touching mother daughter story, and deserves a lot of praise as a first time director.”
