A new documentary from comedian
Dave Chappelle will close out this year’s Tribeca Film Festival, premiering June 19 at Radio City Music Hall, the first time in more than a year that the iconic New York City venue is reopening its doors.
Dave’s yet-untitled film takes a look at the challenges facing a rural village in Ohio during the early days of the pandemic. Fueled by the murder of
George Floyd and the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, Dave provides his community with “two things needed in difficult times — economic and comic relief.” Those interested in attending will need to be fully vaccinated, while children under the age of 16 must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
