When Love Kills 💖🔫

While in New Orleans for the NABJ convention I had the pleasure of watching a film before it goes mainstream on television.

Actress Tasha Smith this time is behind the scenes directing the movie "When Love Kills: The Falicia Blakely Story." The movie is based off a true story and premieres Monday night (08/28/17) on TV One at 9pm/8c.

The main character of "When Love Kills" Falicia played by Niatia 'Lil Mama' Kirkland, is a teen mom and stripper from Atlanta who finds her way into the wrong type of lifestyle due to falling for the wrong type of man. A man that was all about drugs and guns. Dino played by Lance Gross continues to feed Falicia broken promises. Eventually Dino turns her into a pawn within his dangerous life forcing her to prove her love for him at the expense of others innocent lives.

While watching the movie you will see the acting skills of boxer Floyd Mayweather who this past weekend fought for the record of being 50 - 0 undefeated. Other guest stars include Lil Zane and Big Freedia.

Extended Trailer

There will be an encore of the movie at 11 pm.
