Ria Khan (Priya Kansara), the heroine of Polite Society, is a schoolgirl who dreams of being a stuntwoman. Her elder sister, Lena (Ritu Arya), is on her way to becoming a famous artist — or so Ria keeps insisting despite the inconvenient fact that Lena has dropped out of art school, stopped painting, and is in the midst of a depressive episode that has her squatting in an entryway like Gollum to impulse-eat a whole roast duck.

Questlove received acclaim — in the last month alone, an Oscar and a Grammy — for uncovering the story of the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival in his documentary Summer of Soul. Now the doc is reviving the festival itself with a Harlem Festival of Culture in 2023, Billboard reports.
