In the 1980s in Brownsville, Brooklyn, Elaine is on the cusp of adolescence. Adapted from an acclaimed autobiographical stage play and Young Adult novel, Brownsville Bred is both a father-daughter story and a raw portrait of urban American Latina life. Elaine wrestles with her mother’s resilience, the father she resents, and the chaos outside her window—while confronting the decline of her once-idolized salsa musician father, discovering her Puerto Rican roots, and finding the courage to forge her own path.
