Summaries

On the eve of New York City's controversial "No Dancing" Law getting repealed, the lives of several strangers are forever changed by a shooting at a historic jazz bar in Harlem.

PARIS IS IN HARLEM is a dramatic ensemble piece and jazz musical set in 2017 on the day when New York City's controversial Cabaret or "No Dancing" Law was finally repealed after 91 years of institutional racism that targeted musicians and business owners of color. The film follows a myriad of diverse New Yorkers through their separate but intertwined lives that converge one winter night at the historic Paris Blues jazz bar in Harlem where the story begins: with two gunshots. Structured like the most freewheeling of American art forms--Jazz--this is the story of a neighborhood, a city and an America that will find a way to dance again.
