BloomScreen Presents: BRONX PRINCESS (2008, 38min) September 14, 2010

From the POV website: "BRONX PRINCESS follows headstrong 17-year-old teenager Rocky's journey as she leaves behind her mother in New York City to reunite with her father, a chief in Ghana, West Africa. Filmed over the tumultuous summer between high-school and college, BRONX PRINCESS tells Rocky's coming-of-age story. By confronting her immigrant parents' ideas of adulthood, Rocky reconciles her African heritage with her dream of independence."

This event is a collaboration with POV, the award- winning independent nonfiction film series on PBS (www.pbs.org/pov).

After the film, BloomBars will conduct an open discussion with the film’s star – Ms. Rockyatu Otoo – who will appear live via Skype.
