Mother Mary by KJ Moran Velz Boston, 1968. Taxi driver Jo Cruz knows the streets of Southie like the back of her hand, but no road map can prepare her for meeting Mary O’Sullivan, an Irish American Catholic school teacher with a boyfriend and a very strict mother. Despite rising tensions between their Puerto Rican and Irish communities, Jo and Mary find themselves in an unexpectedly close friendship…or is it something more? But their growing connection takes a turn when Mary asks Jo to take her on a risky road trip from which there’s no going back. A new romcom about choice, faith, and how to find your way home. Content transparency: Mother Mary contains scenes of sexual intimacy and references to abortion.
Directed by Elaine Vaan Hogue
