“It is a tender look at an American church with an old, persevering, social justice soul, and the people who make their soup kitchen a communal magnet.” – JoAnne Vellin, Moderntimes.review
Angels on Diamond Street spotlights three women fighting for social justice in an African-American church in Philadelphia.
We follow head cook Mamie Mather, former Black Panther Barbara Easley-Cox and Pastor Renee Mackenzie at the soup kitchen of the Church of the Advocate: a national monument with a rich history in the civil rights movement. When an undocumented Mexican immigrant family – Carmela Apolonio Hernandez and her children – asks the church for sanctuary, they are welcome with open arms.
Screening in French with English subtitles.
