November 5 & 12 | In the summer of 1993, a young law student defies her father's wishes and chooses poetry over jurisprudence. Amidst the backdrop of escalating gang violence and family estrangement, she wields the power of her words to unite her community. Yet, when tragedy claims a loved one, she is compelled to seek reconciliation with her family—a poignant testament to the healing balm of poetic justice.
