Taking place in 1989, Southside With You stars Tika Sumpter as a young Michelle Robinson and Parker Sawyers as Barack Obama. The couple’s first date was a daylong event that took them from the Art Institute of Chicago to a screening of Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing to the site of their first kiss outside an ice cream parlor.
