The sweetest lemon..
The first time I watched this documentary was at the HBO Latin film festival. I sat next to my cousin which people usually avoid because she never shuts up during movies. For the first time EVER she was completely mute. I had to look over at her a couple of times through out the film to make sure she was breathing. Lemon was that great! Watch this documentary! The entire film takes you on a journey that kinda creeps up on your soul. It is so much more than a mans struggle. Lemon is a poet whose true words will flow through your blood. This documentary is universal and changed my world forever!
Powerful, Real, Poetic
I watched this film in Carbondale, CO during the Aspen Film Festival s few weeks ago. Since then, I've watched several YouTube videos of Lemon reciting his poems. Why? Because its powerful stuff. It's real, often gritty, and always inspirational. This is a film that will stick with you. Watch it!
the Beautiful Struggle
Lemon speaks for the masses of youth who grew up hard and have struggled to challenge themselves to break the cycle of poverty and become something more than the generations before them. He digs deep into his dark past to reveal what he calls "the beautiful struggle" and the challenges that face those of us who have murky pasts as we push forward to pave new paths for ourselves and future generations.
With his spoken word artistry Lemon has created a language that speaks to this underserved populace in a way that no one has done before.
Through his failures and successes the viewer takes the emotional journey that is sometimes painful, often beautiful, and all too relatable for anyone who has struggled to leave the past behind them. He proves that all dreams can be possible through hard work and dedication.
The surprising twists and turns of Lemon's life story will have you rooting for this underdog who brings hope to anyone who has ever felt trapped...
