“HOLIDAY PENNY CINEMA” SERIES

Rugrats Kwanzaa

It’s time to celebrate the Nguzo Saba with a karamu at Susie Carmichael’s house. After all, Great Aunt T is visiting to celebrate Kwanzaa, the holiday that “honors the legacy of our great people.” But unlike the rest of the family, Susie hasn’t won any trophies and awards, so she starts to think that she isn’t great and won’t be able to celebrate. But with the help of Great Aunt T, Susie learns, like the real meaning of Kwanzaa, true greatness comes by living your life with kindness and dignity every day.
