Malaika Jabali

Based on the memoirs of Yvonne S. Thornton, this heartwarming, inspirational family drama centers on a poor black laborer who wanted his six daughters to grow up to be doctors.

First-time director and journalist Malaika Jabali travels around Milwaukee to ask Black residents--who are facing one of the worst economic crises in America's history-- if they think policies like Medicare for All or free college tuition are "too far left." She didn't have much luck.
