*UTAH PREMIERE* The extraordinary life of Regina Jones is one not only shaped by history, but also one that made history. From pregnant and married at 15, through the middle of the Watts Rebellion of 1965, to emerging as a groundbreaking newspaper publisher of SOUL Magazine, Regina is a testament to the American experience.

That lived experience, as a Black American woman raising a family of 5 children, stepping in places where she was not wanted, and navigating a world that offered her no favors, is one that is still too often overlooked. Who in the Hell is Regina Jones turns a lens on Regina’s remarkable journey – the invisible labor, the turmoil, struggle and the joy of a modern-day Black woman.

This film is presented to honor Women’s History Month.
