ATL

Product Description If you've grown weary of gangsta thrillers and violent depictions of thug life, ATL will hit you like a breath of fresh air. Based on a story by Antwone Fisher and written by Tina Gordon Chism, it's essentially a contemporary African-American riff on American Graffiti, focusing on a group of teenagers on the cusp of adulthood, learning valuable life lessons as they strive to make a better future for themselves and their loved ones. The title refers to the airport designation for Atlanta, and that's where orphaned 17-year-old Rashad lives with his younger brother Anton and uncle George . They're poor like most Southside families, but they're making ends meet, caring for each other and forging life-long friendships with guys like the smart, ambitious Esquire , transplanted New Yorker Brooklyn , and likable homeboy Teddy . On Sunday nights they hang at the Cascade roller rink, trying to impress the girls with their latest moves, and director Chris Robinson captures it all with casual momentum and genuine affection for his characters. A little too casual perhaps , but with a lively mix of color and music, ATL manages to be positive and hopeful without sanitizing the harsher realities of modern urban America. There are threats and obstacles to overcome, but ATL is all about potential, striving for goals and accepting responsibility for one's own actions. Between this and Get Rich or Die Tryin', which example would you prefer to follow? --Jeff ShannonProduct DescriptionHigh school seniors contemplate life after high school while hanging out at the local rollerskating rink.Genre: Feature Film Urban DramaRating: PG13Release Date: 18-JUL-2006Media Type: DVD
