Pressure (2020)
Synopsis
This is a coming-of-age story about five teenagers
growing up in Harlem, New York in the 1980s. It is the beginning of a
new generation of kids called the "hip hop" generation, which
unfortunately was growing up alongside the "crack cocaine" generation.
Karon falls into a deep sleep after his graduation in 1985. His dreams
within dreams take him into a realistic drama along with his potential
future in the 1990s as a drug-selling youth. His fast money attitude
serves as the detriment to the community and ultimately his best friends
become caught in the crossfire of his illicit activity. He awakens back
in 1985, realizing the "easy way out" that was offered wasn't a
glorious new beginning, it was the end.
