Set in the summer of 2001, Till the Break of Dawn chronicles a group of activists – teachers and artists – who attend a Hip Hop festival in Havana and find there struggling Cubans, global Hip Hip youths, and even a Black Panther in exile – a woman who challenges (and ultimately strengthens) the New Yorkers’ commitments to activism and to each other.
At the dawn of a turbulent new era, Danny’s crew learns that only after traveling far from home can they put their lives in perspective – and only then can their true education in the politics of social change begin.
