(Encore presentation) The film adaptation of In The Heights from Lin-Manuel Miranda is a joyous spectacle of singing, dancing, and asserting your dignity in small ways.

Topics discussed:

• There are multiple elements of hip-hop culture present in the film - and the rapping is on point. 
• Several Latin cultures are represented, showing the diversity of Washington Heights. 
• The vocal talent is top notch and the dancing and choreography sizzle. 
• The film weaves in serious elements that give the light and bright storytelling some drama and weight. 
• There are multiple story lines, all tied towards a common theme of realizing dreams.
