PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Nearly 200 students from two local nonprofits, the Police Athletic League of Philadelphia and Girls Incorporated, received a free screening of the iconic “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” movie.
“I feel like it’s going to be a really good movie,” said 4th grader Keymaurre Graham.
“I’m interested in film and filmmaking so I really like analyzing how the characters are portraying the roles, how they’re showing their emotions and how it affects the audience,” said 11th grader Morgan Hicks.
6abc and Disney Studio Marketing made the screening possible, investing in students in underserved communities.
“There’s something to seeing yourself reflected on the big screen,” said Niki Hawkins, vice president of community engagement at 6abc. “I think it’s important that if you have a dream, if you have a desire to become successful in any realm. It’s important to have those images accessible, available and plentiful to our young people.”
