Academy Award-nominated filmmaker David Collier and co-director Suzanne LaFetra have crafted a stirring, up-close documentary that follows a group of Oakland teens who find liberation and support through dance. These dynamic young people face the very real challenges of poverty, alienation, HIV, sexual abuse, and gang violence but are dedicated to telling the truth— even if it hurts. FREE captures their struggles as they turn the courage, determination, and stamina required in their daily lives into a contagious joy.
Plays with SFDFF’s award-winning short documentary STAND by Melanie D’Andrea
