Woodward Cinema and the Voice of Black Cincinnati present Barry Jenkins' debut film, Medicine for Melancholy (2008).
Wyatt Cenac (of the Daily Show) and Tracey Heggins star in this love story about two African-American twenty-something's, their one-night stand, and a revealing day-after in rapidly gentrifying San Francisco - a city with the smallest proportional black population of any other major American city. In his internationally acclaimed and award-winning debut feature, writer/director Barry Jenkins creates a tender yet resonant tale of sex, race, bicycles and modern urban life.
