Description

Executive producer Nas presents this vivid inner-city saga set amidst Cleveland's hip-hop underground. Teenage buddies Cisco (Jorge Lendeborg Jr.), Junior (Moises Arias), Boobie (Ezri Walker), and Patty Cake (Rafi Gavron) shrug off school to practice skateboarding, which they hope will be their ticket to a better life. In the meantime, they steal cars to finance their dream. But when they get mixed up in a drug deal and cross a ruthless crime queen-pin (Linda Emond), they put their friendship—and lives—on the line. Set to a choice hip-hop soundtrack and featuring an impressive ensemble cast that includes The Wire's Michael K. Williams, Erykah Badu, and rapper Machine Gun Kelly, The Land crackles with the energy and poetry of the streets.

    This movie does a great job of showing how the nievete of youth can cause disastourous consequences for the childeren and their extended families. The story plays out in an honest way that causes the audience to share in the anxiety of the characters.

    Awesome movie/the cast was amazing and the story really captivated what the Cleveland area is all about. The director did a great job capturing a lot of Cleveland culture and scenery. The soundtrack really blended in with the tone of the film. This film made skateboarding cool again and finished with a moral to learn. Highly recommend it!!
