Lackawanna Blues

Based on the acclaimed autobiographical one-man show by Ruben Santiago-Hudson, this tuneful film is an inspiring coming-of -age drama that concerns a mother and son's love that transends biological ties. It is the story of Rachel "Nancy" Crosby (S. Epatha Merkerson), a woman who built a community and circumvented segregation in her own determined way. Like a good blues song, the film strikes notes that are painful but beautiful, ones that remain alive to both the heartbreaks and the joys of life.
