Harambee! (NR)

synopsis

The realities of random violence confront the Barnes family when a stray bullet enters their apartment on Christmas night. Eleven-year-old JoJo Barnes, his sister, and cousin are then forced to stay inside because of their mother's real concerns for her family's safety.

That evening JoJo's family attends their first Kwanzaa celebration at their housing project's community center where Chimbuko, an activist and former drug addict who has walked the road of recovery for five years, sees Kwanzaa as a way to help the community come together to meet the changes in their neighborhood.
