Synopsis:
Benjamin Bratt delivers a masterfully vivid portrayal of the startlingly original Latino icon, poet-playwright-actor Miguel Pinero. After doing hard time in prison for drug-dealing and petty theft, Pinero turned his prison experiences into the Tony Award-winning play Short Eyes. Then, as a founder of the famed Nuyorican Poets Cafe on Manhattan's Lower East Side, Pinero crafted an influential style of rhythmic urban poetry that is widely recognised as a precursor to rap and hip-hop.
Brought to you by executive producer John Leguizamo and featuring Academy Award winner Rita Moreno, Giancarlo Esposito and Talisa Soto, - critics everywhere were mesmerised by Bratt's graphic performance of this unforgettable bad-boy genius.
