Urban Poet

A young Latina woman, confronting the gradual loss of her community to gentrification, finds a vehicle for her angst in the poetry slam circuit.

Set in Chicago, this coming of age story follows Rita a young Latina poet from Humboldt Park struggling to find her voice. She's at odds with the social ills in her community. Gang violence threatens her father, a detective and single parent. A shady promoter seduces her best friend with promises of a break in showbiz. Her boyfriend's job as a construction foreman depends on his willingness to play union buster for a developer. Gentrification and the portrayal of minorities in society can pose limits for Rita as she enters into adulthood, but she chooses otherwise. She puts her frustrations onto paper, creating poetry with strong lyrics and powerful messages establishing her as a serious contender in the Latino Café Slam Competition. http://newfilmproduction.com
