River to River will be showing;Imitation of Life. Douglas Sirk’s greatest film is a searing melodrama that stars Lana Turner (Lora) as an aspiring actress and single mother who meets homeless, black mother, Annie (played by Juanita Moore) at Coney Island and takes her in as a nanny for her daughter Suzie. Lora becomes a successful star, but sacrifices a healthy relationship with her daughter. Annie's light-complexioned daughter, who has grown up in Lora’s home, rejects her mother's love and heritage to pass as a white woman.
This will be showing at 8pm @ 55 Water St., NYC
