If you’re looking for a Juneteenth movie to watch, might I humbly suggest Miss Juneteenth? Miss Juneteenth came out on VOD—which means video on demand—on Friday, aka today, aka Juneteenth. Written and directed by Channing Godfrey Peoples in her feature film debut, this mother-daughter drama is more of a quiet, reflective film than it is a history lesson. And yet, it’s the perfect film to honor the joys and sadness of this American holiday, which is celebrated in recognition of the slaves in Texas who finally learned they were free on June 19, 1865, two years after Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863.

Starring Nicole Beharie as a financially struggling mother and former beauty queen, Kendrick Sampson as her less-than-helpful husband, and Alexis Chikaeze as their teenage daughter Kai, Miss Juneteenth speaks to what it means to have hope for the future. Kai’s mother thinks the key to that hope is through the Miss Juneteenth beauty pageant. Kai has other ideas. It’s a slow-moving, emotional film that’s certainly worth your time, especially on June 19. Here’s how to watch Miss Juneteenth:
