Grab a blanket and come enjoy a movie in a neighborhood park or playground! This summer, NYC Parks and The Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment will host family-friendly movie showings across the five boroughs. The Rani or Queen of Jhansi rallies her people to resist the oppressive rule of the British Empire in 1857, which sets in motion the eventual dissolution of the British East India Company. The young Rani led her people to battle at the tender age of 24, and her feat becomes the first stepping stone in her country's long struggle to gain independence from their colonizers. The following movie has been rated R. It is intended for mature audiences. Parents may wish to consider whether it should be viewed by children under 17. Movies begin at dusk.
