Directed by Ti Ames and set in 1963 at the beginning of the civil rights movement, Fireflies (above), the second part of Donja R. Love’s trilogy, delves into the lives of Reverend Charles Emmanuel Grace and his wife, Olivia. The couple, whose marriage is in trouble, wrangles with secret queer love, infidelity, and alcohol abuse in a story of endurance and empowerment that reaffirms that we all need and deserve love.
