Part of BAMcinématek 2013 series Brooklyn Close-Up

Directed by Jim McKay | 2000

With Melissa Martinez, Anna Simpson, Kerry Washington, Jackie Robinson Steppers Marching B, Marlene Forte

“An astonishing movie, with a real-life feel."

—The Washington Post

During a sweltering summer in Crown Heights, best friends Lanisha (Washington), Maria (Martinez), and Joycelyn (Simpson) navigate a host of teenage anxieties—the closing of their high school, unplanned pregnancy, and tumultuous family lives—all between rehearsals with the legendary Jackie Robinson Steppers Marching Band (which pops up to punctuate the movie with rousing performances). This refreshingly raw, unsentimental portrait of female adolescence was shot on location in Crown Heights and captures the sights and sounds of a Brooklyn summer with near-documentary realism.
