Co-presented with BlueWaveNJ. Three-time felon, one-time Tony Award winner, Lemon Andersen is an acclaimed poet who broke out on Broadway in Russell Simmons’ Def Poetry Jam. This beautifully crafted film follows Lemon when he winds up living back in the projects and strives to stage a comeback in the world of Spike Lee and the Public Theater. Lemon’s life personalizes the anguish of men fighting for something more. The film features music by Kanye West, Mos Def, Talib Kweli and Aloe Blacc.
