Description

A sweeping narrative of community, crime, and gentrification unfolds over fifty years in one Brooklyn neighborhood. In the 1970s, a daily ritual takes place, with money exchanged, belongings surrendered, and power asserted. This dance is played out by children from different backgrounds - Black, brown, and white - who navigate the street as a stage in shadow.

The rules of this world appear obvious at first, but memory reveals a more complex reality. The voices of the past may seem to rise and gather, only to make war with one another. As the years pass, the façade of the neighborhood cracks open, revealing what lies behind it. None who lived through it are ever permitted to forget.
