While on a forgettable first date, Slim (Daniel Kaluuya) and Queen (Jodie Turner-Smith), are pulled over for a minor traffic infraction. When the situation escalates due to racial profiling, Slim kills the police officer in self-defense. Captured on video, the footage quickly goes viral and the couple unwittingly become a symbol of rebellion across the United States. Following in the footsteps of Bonnie & Clyde and Thelma & Louise, Melina Matsoukas’ QUEEN AND SLIM is a powerful love story that confronts the toll of racism and the life-shattering price of violence.
