In Da’ Boogie Down
by Mel Nieves
Directed and co-developed by Paula Pizzi
Three desperate inner-city teens, Wilton Fernandez, Yazmin Garcia, and Jamal Faulkner find themselves at a crossroads in their young lives and must choose which path not to take. For Wilton, it’s a return home to a family that fears him and the hope for them not to. For Yazmin, it’s a search for a place where she can feel safe, protected, and loved. For Jamal it’s simply looking for a place to belong and to find who his true self is, but at what cost? Because in the South Bronx for these three teens the struggle to survive where not living beyond today is just another heartbreak and gunshot away.
