Yara Shahidi and Miles Brown Reunite at Special Screening of Summer of Soul

Yara Shahidi and Miles Brown attended the Cinespia special screening of Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) last night, July 9 in Los Angeles.  The duo was all smiles as they posed together on the carpet before sitting down to check out the new movie.

In his acclaimed debut as a filmmaker, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson presents a powerful and transporting documentary—part music film, part historical record created around an epic event that celebrated Black history, culture and fashion.

Over the course of six weeks in the summer of 1969, just one hundred miles south of Woodstock, The Harlem Cultural Festival was filmed in Mount Morris Park (now Marcus Garvey Park). The footage was never seen and largely forgotten–until now. SUMMER OF SOUL shines a light on the importance of history to our spiritual well-being and stands as a testament to the healing power of music during times of unrest, both past and present.

The movie was released on Hulu and in theaters on July 2. These two make me so happy! I can’t get over how tall Miles is now compared to Yara! Also, how do I get a pair of Yara’s  ADIDAS sneakers!?
