This is the story of how Rev. Dr. Leslie Braxton putting together a musical performance for Juneteenth in his home town of Seattle. He managed to do so by enlisting his nephew and musician Ramon Bryant Braxton, who moved back from New York to do so.
One of the best films at Tribeca 2025 needs to become a feature. I say this because I want, nay , I NEED to hear more of the story of how this all came together. More importantly I need to see more of the performance.
This film has so much crammed into it's 26 minutes, I mean its the story of the performance, of the family, of the neighborhood and of the experience of being Black in the Pacific Northwest, that you are going to be groaning when this ends. There are so many threads that need following. You are going to want to know more.
Because I don't know if we will ever get to see more of this story I have to insist that you go see this short. It's a magical experience and is good for your soul.
Highly recommended.
