About The Bumbry Encounter
The year is 1961. Jackie Bumbry has a black eye. Her house is full of police officers. Her husband, Terry, is being spoken to in the other room. A family counselor is brought in to speak with Jackie about her relationship with her husband - and how she is white and he is black. But all Mrs. Bumbry wants to talk about is the strange lights she and her husband saw last night.
Directed by Jay K. Raja, The Bumbry Encounter leans on a strong ensemble — Lauren McFall, Ross Turner, Skipper Elekwachi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 2019.
