A young boy smiles, his back to the bright blue sky, with his arms and legs spread as if tossed in the air.

Opening Night: We Grown Now

  •   Minhal Baig
  •   United States

The heartfelt story follows two 10-year-olds, Malik and Eric, as they revel in the freedoms of boyhood and the joys of friendship. The projects are their playground, and every stairway, roof, and stretch of blacktop is just another place for adventure. But when violence comes to their neighborhood, their safe haven is fractured, and Malik’s mother Dolores (Jurnee Smollett) must decide whether to stay or move away.
