Jinn (2018)
Description
In a story that looks quite different where she talks about a girl called Summer, a black girl who does not exceed 17 years old. Things have completely changed for the girl as her world turned upside down when her mother, a famous meteorologist named Gade Jennings, suddenly turned to Islam. That mother may become a different person, pushing the summer to re-evaluate her identity in a short period of time, and perhaps it will be wrong.

There are good, admirable intentions, and there's the movie that results from them. Sad to say, Jinn consistently lets down its premise and performers.
