Sony Pictures Classics released the trailer for Charm City Kings, directed by Angel Manuel Soto and starring Jahi Di’Allo Winston (Queen & Slim, Proud Mary, The Upside), Meek Mill, Will Catlett (Black Lightning), Chino Braxton, and Teyonah Parris (If Beale Street Could Talk, Dear White People).
Here’s the synopsis:
Growing up in West Baltimore, teenage Mouse (Winston) feels the fierce pull of different forces: between notorious ex-con Blax (Meek Mill) and concerned Detective Rivers (Catlett), and between the straight path set for Mouse by his concerned mother (Parris) and the dangers of gang life, which took his brother’s life. The one truth Mouse knows is that he loves the power, artistry and energy of “The Ride” — the exhilarating motorized-dirt-bike scene that is both pastime and passion on the streets of Baltimore. During one eventful summer, Mouse steers his way through two father figures, a first girlfriend, the pull of illegal choices and the thrill of stunt-riding that makes him and his friends feel like Charm City Kings.
The film will debut at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, followed by a release in NY/LA/Baltimore on April 10thand nationwide April 17, 2020.
