Coming Into Adulthood In Today's America

Framed around the final one hundred days before his intended commencement ceremony, it presents a personal coming-of-age story of a boldly curious, anxious college undergraduate in Boston. His relationships with his family and peers, their struggles with life, and his eventual move from prestigious private university to poverty stricken West Africa all become parts of a memorable script.

By connecting his personal experiences with larger political, cultural and core fundamental human questions, M.Johnson-Smith uses his life as a canvas on which to paint the nuances of race and identity, sex and love, violence and pain, triumph and forgiveness.
