Romeo Is Bleeding
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean
ROMEO IS BLEEDING is a documentary film following Donte Clark, a young poet in Richmond, CA, a community that struggles with gun violence stemming from a turf war spanning across multiple generations.
Donte transcends the violence in his hometown by writing poetry about his experiences. Using his voice to inspire those around him, he co—founded an arts organization called RAW Talent, where like—minded youth from both sides of Richmond mount Te’Ns Harmony, an urban adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, with the hope of starting a meaningful dialogue about violence in the city.
