The Last Black Man in San Francisco
Fact and fiction blur in director Joe Talbot's award-winning drama, which is based on the experiences of leading man Jimmie Fails. The film centres on Jimmie (playing himself), who lives with his best friend Montgomery Allen (Jonathan Majors) in San Francisco. The city is unrecognisable after decades of sweeping social change and development but Jimmie remains emotionally tethered to a house in the Fillmore District, which his grandfather built in 1946. When the property becomes vacant due to a dispute between the current owner and her sister, Jimmie takes up temporary residence with Mont. Aided by Jimmie's aunt Wanda (Tichina Arnold) and her husband Ricky (Daewon Song), the squatters furnish the home with the family's belongings, restoring the property to its former glory. However, the best buddies are living on borrowed time under someone else's roof.
