Opening only in theaters May 15, the film marks Harris’ directorial debut, expanding her acclaimed stage work into a visceral, cinematic journey of vengeance, sisterhood, and generational reckoning. And now, the official trailer has arrived, offering a first look at the firestorm to come.
At the heart of IS GOD IS are twin sisters—played by Kara Young and Mallori Johnson—who set out on an epic, cross‑country odyssey after uncovering a buried family truth. Their mission is simple but searing: confront the past, reclaim their power, and deliver justice on their own terms.
The film blends suspense, dark humor, and mythic intensity, creating a world where violence is both a legacy and a language. It’s bold, it’s raw, and it’s unmistakably Aleshea Harris.
The ensemble is stacked with powerhouse talent:
- Kara Young
- Mallori Johnson
- Janelle Monáe
- Erika Alexander
- Mykelti Williamson
- Josiah Cross
- Vivica A. Fox
- Sterling K. Brown
