Zoom Discussion of Homecoming: A Film by Beyonce

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The final Temple Sinai program for the Saratoga Jewish Cultural Festival presents a Zoom discussion and celebration of Black culture with Homecoming: A Film by Beyonce at 7 p.m. on Aug. 15.

The documentary film, a highly celebrated Netflix documentary and 2019 Emmy Award nominee, is presented with a grant from the Jewish Federation of Northeastern New York.

The documentary is an in-depth look at Beyonce’s 2018 Coachella show, where she was the first African American woman to headline the festival since its founding in 1999. 

Beyonce chronicles her experiences, from breastfeeding newborn twins, dance rehearsals, her radical diet regimen and grueling training schedule after topping the scales at 218 pounds following the birth of her twins.
