Lena Waithe on “Queen & Slim”

'The screenwriter Lena Waithe talks about Queen & Slim, her new feature film. It’s about a couple on a first date, during which they kill a police officer at a traffic stop that escalates. For many Black people, Waithe says, the police “represent Jim Crow, they represent injustice, they represent death to a lot of us”.'  -- The New Yorker Radio Hour
