In the Heights - A Film Review
The film adaptation of in the heights just launched, and it took me on a roller coaster of emotions from joy to sorrow. After we recorded this conversation, afro latin x critics raised concerns about their under representation in lead rolls. In the heights co written with kiara alagrea hudes, tells the story of a bodega owner in the washington heights neighborhood of manhattan who dreams of a better life. Len manoel responded to these concerns on twitter, saying, i started writing in the heights because i didn't feel seen. And over the past 20 years, all i wanted was for us, all of us, to feel seen.
