Antonia

Determined to escape their poverty-stricken lives, the talented young women form an all-female rap group but find their road to success is riddled with sexism, racism, and violence. One by one, they succumb to their grim realities, putting the group's future—and their lifelong friendships—in jeopardy…until they learn that out of struggle comes strength, and out of strength, the courage to continue on.
