Crown Heights

In the wake of the riots, Dr. David L. “Laz” (Howie Mandel, St. Elsewhere) is persuaded by his Hasidic peers to use his influence on the youth in the neighborhood of Crown Heights. He teams up with Paul Richards (Mario Van Peebles, Ali), a calm, centered black man and a driving force at the Youth Collective Center. The men discover that although they may not have color or spiritual beliefs in common, they share a meaningful bond: a wish to spread hope to disillusioned youth. Two boys, Yudi Simon (Jeremy Blackman, Magnolia) and T.J. Moses (DeQuan Henderson, Disappearing Acts), each suffering their own effects from racial bias, prove to be a challenge—but one worth fighting for.
