On May 5th, 1991, people took to the streets of Washington D.C.’s Mount Pleasant neighborhood to protest the police shooting of Daniel Gómez, a young man from El Salvador. Through testimony, song, poetry, and street theatre, La Manplesa weaves together the collective memory of one of D.C.’s first barrios and dives into the roots of the ‘91 rebellion. As people across the world take to the streets to demand an end to police brutality, the film honors the largely untold stories that have come before us, and explores how artists prompt us to remember what we still have to fight for.

Resurgence tells the story of Jonas Gilham, a poet from Washington, DC, on a journey to transcend his own learned toxic masculinity from the street to prison, where self-education and egalitarian principles transformed a very troubled boy into a man committed to guiding other men through their own personal revolutions. After 17 years behind bars, Jonas offers his voice into the critical conversation about how we as a society can heal and prevent violence by reimagining masculinity to build a better, more equal future.
