Quest
Quest is about the struggles and hopes of a working-class black family in North Philadelphia. Director Jonathan Olshefski follows the Raineys over the course of eight years. Christopher “Quest” works a newspaper delivery route to support his recording studio while his wife works at a domestic violence shelter. A stray bullet hits their daughter blocks away from the basketball court where she plays every day. A beautiful and gently-paced depiction of race and class, Quest premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.
Sponsored jointly by the “Reel and Meal” series and LaborFest; planned by the Prince Georges County Peace and Justice Coalition. Contact for more information.
