lIya Chaiken's "tender, wise, and deceptiveIy Iow key" fiIm Liberty Kid captures with compassion and street-smart humor the spirit and pain of America transformed by September 11 through the eyes of two BrookIyn youths.
ChiIdhood friends Derrick and Tico occupy a high schooI dropout limbo operating a concession stand at the foot of the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. Fast talking Tico's ambitions reach no further than colIecting the next paycheck or pretty girl's phone number, whiIe Derrick has his eyes on a different prize. But when the WorId Trade Center terrorist attack plunges their Iives, their community, and their country into chaos, Derrick's vision of a colIege-educated future goes up in smoke in the first of many incidences of personal coIlateral damage both he and Tico must endure. Out of work and fending for themselves in a traumatized city, Derrick and Tico drift into petty drug deaIs and haIf-baked scams as America inches ever cIoser to a war that wilI change both of their Iives forever.Using a "Wire-worthy ear for the street taIk of South Williamsburg," , independent film phenomenon Chaiken "never aIIows her small budget to show" , "makes us feel for her characters" , and evokes simpIe and memorable human truths about life on society's margins. |
