The film presents the impact of racism, corruption, and death on urban youth. Inspired by true events, this drama takes place at City Diner in downtown Newark. There, eleven-year-old Niko would watch diners of different races enjoying their meals but not each other due to their deeply held bigotry. As this hideous outlook on society grows in the minds of those tainted by the toxicity, an unlikely friendship forms between the naive but fearless Niko, the son of a Greek immigrant, and Arty, an eleven-year-old quiet but curious African American kid from the projects. Throughout the summer their bond forms organically but their relationship gets tested as the City of Newark erupts during the race riots of 1967. Written by YouTube: AUX1 MEDIA See less
