Voices Rising: The Grit of Youth
Minneapolis, MN, United States
ID: 589625Exp: 8/16/2025
Description:
In Minneapolis, a group of 6 teens in a spoken‑word program fight to find their voices while their community battles gentrification, grief, and survival. At the center is 15‑year‑old Alicia Price, an Afro-Dominican poet, whose words spark a movement to save her father’s soul food restaurant — all while quietly wrestling with the ache of a mother who walked away.
