SYNOPSIS
High school senior, Johnny
Montalban, is a part of
the exuberant world of
street musicians in San
Francisco. As Johnny sets
a plan in motion to drop
out of school to pursue a
music career, his mother,
Carmelita, only has dreams
of him graduating and
keeping a roof over their
heads in their
ever-changing SOMA
neighborhood. When faced
with losing their home due
to rent increases and
decreased wages from
scheming boss, a history
assignment based on the
true story about how a
group of Filipino
Americans began the
biggest agricultural labor
strike in the United
States inspires him to
fight for the wages owed
his mother and the
apartment they call home.
Through the help of a
caring teacher, his love
of music, and the strength
found in the Filipino
American Community, Johnny
finds the strength to not
only take action in saving
his mom’s job, but he also
finds the fire to not be
another statistical
drop-out.
