Henson joined the inner circle of New York City’s most buzzed-about film events by attending a special screening of Tyler Perry’s new Netflix drama, Straw, at the Paris Theater in Manhattan. The film—a hard-hitting narrative about a single mother whose life spirals into chaos as she struggles to care for her ill daughter—has already ignited conversations for its raw depiction of life’s relentless challenges.
