A socially awkward, teenage African-American girl who dreams of one day being a theatrical stage manager. A passionate Jamaican-American teacher dedicated to giving back to the black community where he grew up. A quasi-liberal white couple who move back to Brooklyn to raise their newborn child, confronted with the reality of their privileged upbringing, and an African-American mother struggling to raise her two children alone after her husband is murdered by the police. The lives of these five people intertwine against the backdrop of systemic racism in New York City and a forgotten performing arts high school in Canarsie, Brooklyn– where all are forced to confront the still, very real reality of segregation, inequality, and inequity throughout the neighborhoods of Brooklyn.
This drama/comedy explores the story of white and people of color millennials together in an urban environment, amidst the backdrop of pseudo-liberalism, privilege, institutional racism in the U.S. education system, and an ever changing cultural/racial landscape in Brooklyn.
Directed by Brandon Triola (USA)
