WUD Film celebrates Black History Month with a screening of The Wood (1999) with open captions!

USA | 106 min | R | DVD | Dir. Rick Famuyiwa

"While dealing with a friend's cold feet on his wedding day, a writer reminisces about his youth with his best friends."

"This is a comfort-food movie, predictable but satisfying. Also, by jumping between the late '80s and the late '90s, the film offers a treasure trove of old-school music." Donnie Kwak (The Ringer)
