The Last Black Man in San Francisco

Drama121 min

Jimmie Fails is Jimmie, a San Franciscan fixated on reclaiming the Victorian house he believes his grandfather built in the city’s heart. With Jonathan Majors’ Mont beside him — playwright, best friend, and steady witness — he moves through a changing San Francisco of skaters, squatters, street preachers, and family members who don’t share his vision. As Jimmie chases a version of home that seems to be slipping away, the story tracks his search for belonging in a city reshaped by money, memory, and the question of who gets to remain.
