Teleplay
Basada en un clásico de la literatura afroamericana. Cubre los 30 primeros años del siglo XX en Eatonville, Florida, una población de mayoría negra y hogar de la inquieta Janie Crawford (Halle Berry), una joven obligada a casarse con un hombre mucho mayor que ella a la edad de 16 años.
Story
Everyone knows Christmas is a time of giving — well, everyone but one wealthy, spoiled college student who's about to get the ultimate wake-up call. When she helps organize a holiday concert at a youth center, little does she know the grumpy cabbie she works with is actually an angel in training.
Screenplay
Las duras calles de Houston son el escenario en el que muchos jóvenes buscan salir de la miseria. Familias desestructuradas, delincuencia, paro o problemas con las drogas son algunas de las realidades cotidianas a las que se enfrenta la juventud. Uno de esos chicos es Jason, perseguido por la memoria de su padre fallecido y por la alargada sombra de la conducta violenta de su hermano. Sin embargo, un rayo de esperanza parece abrirse ante sí cuando conoce a Lyric.
Teleplay
From Publishers Weekly The devastating story of brothers Lafayette and Pharoah Rivers, children of the Chicago ghetto, is powerfully told here by Kotlowitz, a Wall Street Journal reporter who first met the boys in 1985 when they were 10 and seven, respectively. Their family includes a mother, a frequently absent father, an older brother and younger triplets. We witness the horrors of growing up in an ill-maintained housing project tyrannized by drug gangs and where murders and shootings frequently occur.
