Description

Aspiring writer Preach (Turman) and basketball star Cochise (Hilton-Jacobs) experience an adolescence filled with sex, danger, and Motown in this entertaining, emotionally rich account of  growing up on the Near North Side, based on an autobiographical script by Cabrini-Green’s Eric Monte. Film Center namesake Gene Siskel called it “a beguiling story that’s affecting, lasting, and worth seeing more than once.
