In this cash award winner and Finalist in an Academy Awards qualifying film festival, a dying Black author pens an inspiring true story about her courageous journey out of the streets and into the pitfalls of the military, but she achieves triumph through recollections of lessons learned from her Army vet father turned notorious Midwest gangster. Described as American Gangster meets GI Jane that leaves you with that inspirational Akeelah and the Bee feeling.
