See a Soul Cinema film screening of Support the Girls at Garfield Theatre on April 28, presented by The Voice of Black Cincinnati and Cincinnati World Cinema.
Regina Hall stars as the hardworking manager of Double Whammies, a “sports bar with curves.” She runs the business like a family, but over the course of one challenging day, her incurable optimism is tested by sketchy employees, technical problems, bad customers, and an even worse boss.
Presented with empathy and humor without preaching, Support the Girls highlights the realities of the workplace that many women face as an accepted part of their jobs – working in the low-wage service industry with a lack of adequate insurance while encountering disrespect, sexual harassment, and racial stereotypes.
This entertaining, thoughtful, and funny drama is anchored by Regina Hall, whose outstanding performance received numerous award nominations. She won Best Actress at the New York Film Critic Awards for Support the Girls – the very first Black actor to be so honored.
