Crooklyn - Uma Família de Pernas pro Ar
Aunt Song
Nova York, anos 70. Era o tempo dos Jackson 5, da família Dó-Ré-Mi e do Black Power. Neste cenário musical efervescente, Spike Lee nos traz a vibrante história da professora Carolyn Carmichael (Alfre Woodard), uma mãe carinhosa e preocupada, seu marido Woody (Delroy Lindo), músico de Jazz, e seus cinco filhos vivendo no agitado bairro do Brooklyn. Quando Woody, que já foi bem sucedido com a música, perde seu emprego uma crise começa a envolver sua família e seu casamento. E agora todos terão de confiar uns nos outros - e também no senso de humor de cada um - para enfrentar as grandes alegrias e inevitáveis tristezas do dia-dia.
