Netflix Announces New Film About Heartwarming Viral Thanksgiving Story Of Grandma Accidentally Invites Stranger Over For Dinner
HOUSTON – Netflix’s Strong Black Lead announced Thursday that the streaming service is officially filming the viral moment between Arizona grandmother Wanda Dench and Jamal Hinton.
Just a week after celebrating their sixth Thanksgiving dinner together, Strong Black Lead took to social media and said the couple’s story would be portrayed on screen by the streaming giant.
For those unfamiliar with the story, in 2016 Dench accidentally texted Hinton inviting him to Thanksgiving dinner. The Kind Grandma told Hinton he could always join because “that’s what Grandma does…feed everybody.”
The moment was shared on social media and is now an annual tradition for friends to spend Thanksgiving Day together.
In an announcement tweet, Jamal Hinton said he’s excited about the new partnership with Netflix and can’t wait to share their story on the big screen.
I am very happy to announce our new partnership with Netflix. We thank each and every one of you for your love and support on our journey over the past 6 years. We can’t wait to tell our story on the big screen! 🎥🍾 pic.twitter.com/0heCmEWMDM
