Join the Boston Women’s Film Festival and MFA Film for a showcase of award-winning new films by emerging filmmakers from around the globe.

Clara Sola is a surreal Costa Rican drama about a woman with mystical gifts who longs to be free of her strict religious family. And the acclaimed French film Happening follows a college student in the 1960s who risks jail and worse for the sake of her budding future when she becomes pregnant. See these stories and more in this celebration of women and their strength.

SYNOPSIS
From director Amy Poehler, LUCY AND DESI explores the unlikely partnership and enduring legacy of one of the most prolific power couples in entertainment history. Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz risked everything to be together. Their love for each other led to the most influential show in the history of television, I Love Lucy. Desi –an immigrant from Cuba who lost everything in exile, became a band leader, and eventually a brilliant producer and technical pioneer. Lucille came from nothing and, with an unrivaled work ethic, built a career as a model, chorus girl and eventually as an actor in the studio system. She found her calling in comedy, first in radio. When Lucille was finally granted the opportunity to have her own television show, she insisted that her real-life spouse, Desi, be cast as her husband. Defying the odds, they re-invented the medium, on the screen and behind the cameras. The foundation of I Love Lucy was the constant rupture and repair of unconditional love. What Lucy and Desi couldn’t make work with each other, they gave to the rest of the world. LUCY AND DESI is an insightful and intimate peek behind the curtain of these two remarkable trailblazers –featuring interviews with Lucie Arnaz Luckinbill, Norman Lear, Desi Arnaz Jr, Carol Burnett and Bette Midler.



Release Date: LUCY AND DESI will be released exclusively on Prime Video on Friday, March 4th.
Rating: PG, Running Time: 102 minutes
