Get to know the short film: PLAYGROUND, 17min., USA, Documentary/Society

Afternoons at 4, residents from Lakeview Terrace, a public housing project in Cleveland, gather at their community center to transform their life stories into art and their grief into understanding. They are Brick City Theater, an outreach program for youth that over the years has become a workshop where people of all ages work together to empower themselves and each other through the creation of original plays. PLAYGROUND offers a portrait of a community overcoming tragedy through art.
