A coming-of-age story about Akeem Sharp, a 17-year-old forging his own path to becoming a man, an athlete, and a champion sprinter. With Jamaica as the film’s beautifully textured backdrop, director Storm Saulter gives the audience an authentic look at life in Jamaica for an average family, fractured by separation, fighting to propel Akeem forward to achieve something extraordinary.
