Now that Chris and his girlfriend, Rose, have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy and Dean. At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined.
Join us at the 5:30pm showing of GET OUT on Saturday, March 18, for a pre-show talk by Renee Simms, associate professor of African American Studies at the University of Puget Sound!
