The Sun Is Also a Star
Adapted by scriptwriter Tracy Oliver from the young adult novel penned by Nicola Yoon, The Sun Is Also A Star documents a burgeoning romance, which flourishes in the shadow of bureaucratic meddling. Directed by Ry Russo-Young, the story centres on quantum physics student Natasha Kingsley (Yara Shahidi), whose family is poised to be deported back to Jamaica. While her parents Samuel (Gbenga Akinnagbe) and Patricia (Miriam A Hyman) brace for relocation, Natasha draws inspiration from her hero - astronomer Carl Sagan - and attempts to overturn the decision by seeking the advice of immigration lawyer Jeremy Martinez (John Leguizamo). As she ricochets between meetings in search of a miracle, Natasha collides with medical student Daniel Bae (Charles Melton), who would dearly love to swap scrubs for the poetry of Emily Dickinson. An intense bond forms between the two strangers on a day filled with emotional turmoil including fractious exchanges between Daniel, his older brother Charles (Jake Choi) and their mother (Cathy Shim).
