Set in and around the Brownsville neighborhood in Brooklyn, brownsville song (b-side for tray) is a bold tale of Tray, a spirited African-American 18 year old, and his family.
Eighteen-year-old Tray is committed to making something of himself. He’s working on his college essay, boxing at the gym, and holding down a part-time job. When he happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, a senseless act ends his life, leaving his family to ponder what might have been. This poetic and powerful story jumps between a hopeful future and an uncertain present to show a unique perspective on the scourge of urban violence.
