For the good part of a year, faithful fans of [Donald Glover](http://time.com/collection/2017-time-100/4736210/donald-glover/) (rap name Childish Gambino) and [Rihanna](http://time.com/5026366/rihanna-fenty-beauty-best-inventions-2017/) have eagerly searched for more clues about the pair’s mysterious project, a [music-centered movie spearheaded by Glover called _Guava Island_](http://time.com/5369053/rihanna-donald-glover/). The film attracted major buzz in August 2018 after photos of Glover and Rihanna on set in Havana, Cuba hit the Internet. Now, however, fans can rest easy because details about the film’s release and availability have emerged from none other than Glover himself. The multi-hyphenate of an entertainer took to his Twitter feed to share that he would be giving a free screening of _Guava Island_ after his performance at Coachella’s first weekend, this Saturday, on Amazon Prime for those who won’t be in attendance in Indio at the festival.

In an interview with [_Vanity Fair_](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/04/exclusive-amazon-donald-glover-rihanna-movie) about how the film came to be, Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke said that she trusted in Glover’s vision from the beginning.

“I would have committed to Donald sight unseen.” Salke said. “I knew whatever he wanted to amplify would have relevance and be entertaining. He has that ability to create cultural moments and spread a message that’s interesting.”

Ahead of the film’s debut on Saturday, here’s what to know about _Guava Island_ and how to watch it — even if you don’t have a TV.

## When does _Guava Island_ premiere?

According to [_Vanity Fair_](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/04/exclusive-amazon-donald-glover-rihanna-movie), _Guava Island_ will premiere on Thursday night on the Coachella campgrounds ahead of Glover’s headlining performance on Friday night. Following Glover’s performance, the movie will be available for free on Amazon Prime Video on Saturday.

## How can I watch _Guava Island_ on TV?

_Guava Island_ will be available to watch on streaming platform Amazon Prime, which you can hook up to a TV. It will also be live streaming on Twitch and YouTube’s Coachella Livestream.


## How can I stream _Guava Island_ online?

_Guava Island_ will be available to stream online for free on Amazon Prime on Saturday, April 13, from 3:01 am EST until 9:01 pm EST on Sunday, April 14, ample time for viewers to watch the film and still catch the final season premiere of _Game of Thrones_; after this time, it will only be available to Amazon Prime subscribers. It will also be livestreamed at 8:00 pm EST on Saturday on Twitch and YouTube’s Coachella livestream.

## What’s _Guava Island_ about?

Inspired by Fenando Meirelle’s _City of God_ and Prince’s classic, _Purple Rain_, _Guava Island_ is an island thriller written by Glover’s brother, Stephen Glover and directed by Glover’s longtime collaborator Hiro Murai, that centers on Glover’s local musician character, who sets out to throw a festival for his community. Rihanna will play his love interest, while _Black Panther_‘s Letitia Wright will also appear in the film.

## Who’s on the Guava Island team?

The project relies heavily on Glover’s tried-and-true arsenal; Glover’s brother, Stephen Glover, who is the head story editor and writer on _Atlanta_, wrote the film. Meanwhile, Hiro Murai, the director behind many of _Atlanta_‘s most beloved episodes and Glover’s instantly viral and much-talked about [music video, _This Is America_](http://time.com/5267890/childish-gambino-this-is-america-meaning/), also directed _Guava Island_. The film was produced by Glover, Carmen Cuba and Fam Udeorji.

## And how can I watch Childish Gambino perform?
