White Wall Cinema Presents: NEW JACK CITY 

Next up in our ‘Black Cinema Goes Boom’ programming strand (which focuses on the explosion of early ‘90s popular black cinema) it’s the bombastic New Jack City. This highly stylised neo-noir crime thriller classic is directed by Mario Van Peebles (son of pioneer director Melvin Van Peebles) and is an era-defining piece of black cinema. An on fire Wesley Snipes heads up an all star cast that including Ice-T, Chris Rock, Judd Nelson, and Bill Cobbs, who all do outstanding work bringing to life a cast of characters being chewed up and spit out by the Harlem crack epidemic. Oozing early 90’s street culture, this story about two police officers (T & Nelson) who decide to pursue the notorious megalomaniac drug baron and leader of the Cash Money Brothers gang, Nino Brown (Snipes) has left an indelible mark on popular culture (particularly the world of Hip Hop) and this rare big screen outing is a can’t miss event.
