Romeo is Bleeding

2015, USA, Director: Director: Jason Zeldes, Producer: Michael Klein; 93 min.

Donte Clark’s poetic voice was honed on the violent street corners of Richmond, CA. Rather than succumbing to the pressures of a struggling city, Clark inspires a group of like-minded youth to mount an urban adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, with the hope of starting a real dialogue about violence in the city.
