Synopsis

Thirty minutes from downtown Manhattan lies a forgotten community - Crown Heights, Brooklyn, NY --- where death and destruction are as constant as breathing and represent an oppressed demographic that can be found in every major city in the United States. The story unfolds around Half-a-Mill, a 26-year-old hip hop artist from the Albany Housing Projects in Crown Heights, and his crew as they write, perform and launch Half's first album, Milion, in a desperate bid to escape nihilism, poverty and death. True to the origins of hip-hop as an art form, Half's lyrics are a searing chronicle of life in the 'hood.'
