Synopsis:
Benjie is a troubled teen in Los Angeles, living with his grandmother, his mother, and his mother's boyfriend. Traumatized by his father's desertion and the situation at home, Benjie drifts into getting introduced to heroin and his downward spiral begins. At school he faces conflict between the two teachers he respects: Nigeria, who emphasizes African history and is hostile to white teachers like Mr. Cohen, who pursues racial harmony. Benjie's family must come to terms with the devastation he has created in his life and make changes which affect them all.
Reviews:
"Realistic, Excellent, Gritty. 10 Stars! This is an excellent portrait of a family in the ghetto just trying to make it, with many temptations along the way including drugs & crime. Larry B. Scott does a fantastic portrayal of "Benjie"--a good student turned junkie. He sure shows a great acting range, in a role that would be tough for anyone to play, let alone a teenager. I would love to see Scott in more roles. Of course, Cicely Tyson is wonderful as his caring mother & also Paul Winfield as his "stepfather." A special notice should also go to Helen Martin (of 227 & also Good Times fame, as Wanda). All in all, a realistic film about a family dealing with some very tough & trying issues."
