Actors from film "A Lovely Day"

ABOUT THE FILM - A Lovely Day

In 2009 Oakland based independent filmmaker Kerri Gawryn began chronicling the work of Beats, Rhymes and Life (a local Oakland, CA advocacy organization for youth of color) and the Oakland High School Fifth Element Hip Hop Club.  The result is A LOVELY DAY, an inspiring feature-length film documenting the trials, tribulations, and achievements of a group of Oakland high school students and rappers. The young rappers embark on a six-month journey to find their voice, their talent, and their path to healing within Hip Hop culture. Our guests will be participants from the film, which screens April 23rd at the Nashville Film Festival.
