Welcome Home Sonny T
$15.00 general; $12.00 seniors & students
In a neighborhood torn by gun violence between black and Mexican youth, a prominent black minister, haunted by the ghosts of his struggles as a 60’s radical, faces his own impotence to restore order. He had rescued a troubled teen known as Sonny T by channeling him into the army. The lad is finally returning home and a welcoming party is planned. But there is discord, even shooting, in Sonny’s neighborhood between the established blacks and Mexican newcomers. Community elders watch as their victories of past decades are undone by the plague of gun violence. Discouraged and yearing for redemption, they are ultimately capable of extreme bravery.
