SYNOPSIS: Lights up on Washington Heights…The scent of a cafecito caliente hangs in the air just outside of the 181st Street subway stop, where a kaleidoscope of dreams rallies this vibrant and tight-knit community.

The screening takes place tomorrow, June 9th, at 7pm at AMC Tysons Corner. If you’d like to attend, simply go to the Warner Bros. screening site here. Please remember all screenings are first come first served and you will need to arrive early to ensure seating. Enjoy the show!
