The Unsettling Familiarity of 'Is God Is' Aleshea Harris's "Is God Is" stands out as a powerful and unflinching portrayal of Black American family dynamics in an industry often criticized for its lack of representation.
The movie follows the story of fraternal twins Racine and Anaia, played by Kara Young and Mallori Johnson respectively, as they seek revenge against their abusive father.
The film's central theme – that Black men are often excused for their transgressions while Black women bear the brunt of abuse – is both timely and timeless.
