Doors: 6:30 pm | Film: 7:00 pm
Celebrate 20 years of Hustle & Flow – the groundbreaking Memphis-made film that became a cultural phenomenon – with a special anniversary screening followed by an exclusive panel discussion featuring writer/director Craig Brewer and Memphis rap legend Al Kapone, who penned the film’s iconic track Whoop That Trick.
Winner of the 2006 Academy Award® for Best Original Song (It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp), Hustle & Flow tells the story of DJay, a Memphis hustler with dreams of making it in the rap game. With raw performances, unforgettable music, and a deep sense of place, the film put Memphis on the cinematic map and continues to resonate with audiences around the world.
This anniversary event offers more than just a trip back to 2005 – our panel will take you behind the scenes with insider stories, creative insights, and reflections on the film’s enduring legacy in both cinema and Southern hip-hop.
