Synopsis: “The Other America” is centered on Ari, a homeless urban teenager. It is a coming of age story in the context of poverty, disillusionment, and the failure of the American dream to embrace perceived outsiders. By showing the complexity of Ari’s emotional life, and the conflicts that surround other teens close to him, “The Other America” is about the real hopes and dreams of American kids’ lives.
