This inspiring film follows the Laquieniean Drill Team and Drum Squad of South Central Lost Angeles through one competitive season: their hopes and dreams, failures and successes. The teenage members, their parents, and the team's 70-year-old founder teach us about love, hope, self-esteem and success as they battle one of the toughest urban environments in America today.
