A Wrinkle in Time has already held early screenings for the press, celebrities and other lucky individuals, but it was particularly cool that Ava DuVernay decided to hold this special screening in Compton, and Disney was willing to oblige.
Now that DuVernay is a successfully Hollywood director, she can use her status to help give back to her community, which is undoubtedly appreciated since it sounds like many of the people in that auditorium might not have been able to see A Wrinkle in Time had that screening not been held.
This is also reminds me of the numerous Black Panther screenings that have been organized over the last few weeks for underprivileged youth, which included one put together by T’Challa himself, Chadwick Boseman.
