Longtime friends find themselves in the middle of a cyber-crime investigation in the upcoming AllBlk movie Operation: Aunties.
The original film stars Tisha Campbell, Melissa De Sousa, and Amiyah Scott, who take on a vigilante mission that not only lands them in danger, but also tests their relationships with one another.
Directed by Wendy Raquel Robinson (The Game), the project follows Dr. Carol Cleavers, played by De Sousa — a professor and blockchain expert, who uncovers a human trafficking ring using new technology. After an incident involving her family, Cleavers discovers a rideshare app connected to assaults and trafficking.
