Where to Watch A Thousand and One
- Kevin WardJuly 4, 2025Taking place over a 10-year period from early 1990’s Harlem, A Thousand And One follows Inez (Teyana Taylor) and her son Terry’s relationship, experiencing both triumphs and hardships amidst the backdrop of an ever changing (read: gentrifying) New York City. After spending years apart while Inez was at Rikers, upon release she kidnaps Terry from his foster home and begins the journey to a better life for the both of them. Teyana Taylor gives a powerhouse performance and some earth shattering revelations adds even more density to an already thematically rich story.
