Directed by Jim McKay | 2000

With Kerry Washington, Melissa Martinez, Anna Simpson

Co-presented by Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy

Over the course of a sweltering summer in Crown Heights, best friends Lanisha (Washington, in her film debut), 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 (who punctuates the movie with rousing performances). Jim McKay’s (En El Septimo Día) refreshingly honest, nuanced depiction of female friendship captures the growing pains of adolescence, as well as the sights, sounds, and feelings of Brooklyn summer.

Film begins at sundown.

An IFC Films release.
