Our final episode discusses Aleta Chappelle’s Romeo and Juliet in Harlem (2017). Crowdsourced and shot on site, it is the first and only version to feature a cast composed entirely of people of color. As our only female director this season, Chappelle brings an innovative approach to the story by featuring Harlem as a character to create some of the best scenes in the film, and embracing the feminine by casting Benvolio as a woman and showcasing the relationship between Lady Capulet, Juliet, and the Nurse.
