JERICO

Cinemavixion Review

Seckeita Lewis helms "Jerico," a compelling narrative that delves into the lives of two best friends navigating the oppressive landscape of the Jim Crow South. Released in 2016, the film, starring the seasoned talents of George Wallace, Irma P. Hall, and Jo Marie Payton, masterfully blends humor with poignant social commentary. The plot follows Jarvis Cook and Jerico Walker as they embark on a perilous yet comedic quest, driven by a desire to fulfill a dream deferred by tragedy and prejudice. Despite the societal restrictions and biases they face in 1964 Mississippi, their journey is marked by an unlikely heroism and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. The film has garnered critical acclaim, securing 9 wins and 1 nomination, and holds a respectable 6.7 rating on IMDb, underscoring its impact and resonance with audiences.
