LOS ANGELES \u2014 In \u201cIs God Is,\u201d two sisters embark on a quest for revenge, but must confront a family history that will push them to extraordinary lengths.<\/p>\n
The upcoming film marks Aleshea Harris\u2019 directorial debut and adapts her award-winning play of the same name. For Harris, the film is a chance to invite more audiences to join Racine (Kara Young) and Anaia (Mallori Johnson) on their epic road trip to their destiny.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Spectrum News, Harris said making the film gave her a megaphone to express things she\u2019s been wanting to for years.<\/p>\n
\u201cTrying to remind people of the value of myself and other Black women and girls that anything is possible with a story,\u201d she said. \u201cThat narrative that we should all think expansively about narrative. It has definitely allowed myself to be weird with this story. It has been tremendous.\u201d<\/p>\n
For Harris, \u201cIs God Is\u201d has also given a voice to people who live in the shadows, and she hopes that will resonate with viewers.<\/p>\n
In the film, twins Racine and Anaia carry burn scars. But the scars represent more than just a tragic and violent act.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe burns represent a lot. A reminder of what has happened to you. It is as if the trauma is wearing you,\u201d Young told Spectrum News. \u201cWhen we first meet these young women, they know they have been burned, but they don\u2019t know where it comes from. They don\u2019t know what the story is, so just like a lot of us in this world, we carry so much with us in our present lives but are not sure how it gets passed down.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIs God Is\u201d opens in theaters May 15. It stars Young, Johnson,\u00a0Vivica A. Fox, Janelle Mon\u00e1e, Erika Alexander, Mykelti Williamson, Josiah Gross and Sterling K. Brown.<\/p>\n
