Our Song
"OUR SONG" follows three friends, Lanisha (Kerry Washington), Maria (Melissa Martinez) and Joycelyn (Anna Simpson) through the hot August streets of Crown Heights, Brooklyn. During the closing weeks of summer, these girls endure rigorous rehearsals with their sixty-piece marching band, while biding their time shoplifting, daydreaming, flirting with boys, and confronting the rising tensions within their own friendships. As the small moments and dramas that mean nothing and everything to a young girl navigating her way into adulthood start to accumulate, the girls and their friendships change forever.
Through it all their song remains one of hopes and dreams. Some day, yeah, we'll get it together, and we'll get it all done ...
