Boyz N the Hood

PLEASE NOTE: this performance is free entry but tickets will only be issued from the Box Office on the day of the screening. John Singleton’s Oscar®-nominated debut, starring Cuba Gooding Jr and Ice Cube, is a gritty consideration of life, and the risk of death, for Black teenagers on the rocky road to manhood in LA. At just 24, John Singleton became the youngest director to be nominated for an Oscar® for his gritty coming-of-age story centring on a group of friends in South Central, Los Angeles – a film whose plea to 'increase the peace' remains compelling and relevant more than 30 years on. After Tre (played as a teen by Cuba Gooding Jr) is sent to live with his dad (Laurence Fishburne) in LA’s South Central, he forges friendships with Doughboy (Ice Cube) and Ricky (Morris Chestnut). As the kids hit their late teens, the random violence in the neighbourhood threatens the young men’s future.
