Synopsis

Thought-provoking and electrifying...Ain't No Mo' both honors its ancestors and loudly makes a stand for its own unique perspective. --Greg Evans, Deadline

The time is the near future, and African American Airlines Flight 1619 has been chartered to take Black Americans "back to Africa." Organizing the boarding process is Peaches, a flight agent in drag who is juggling the passengers' excitement and reluctance, as well as her own. Presented in eight vignettes, Jordan E. Cooper's Ain't No Mo' is both a satire and a serious investigation examining the ever-varying facets of the Black American experience: lives affected by violence, class tensions, the prison-industrial complex, and culture vultures.
