The Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival Best of the Fest Documentaries - Romeo Is Bleeding
2pm & 6pm - Romeo Is Bleeding
Directed by Jason Zeldes
English
93 min
A fatal turf war between neighborhoods haunts the city of Richmond, CA. Donté Clark transcends the violence in his hometown by writing poetry about his experiences. Using his voice to inspire those around him, he and the like-minded youth of the city mount an urban adaptation of Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet, with the hope of starting a real dialogue about violence in the city. Will Richmond force Donté to compromise his idealistic ambitions? Or will Donté end Richmonds cycle of trauma? Marvelously directed and edited by Jason Zeldes, Romeo Is Bleeding deals forcefully with the reality of finding a better way to live.
