STUDENTS ARE HEROES

“Students Are Heroes: A Sickle Cell Warrior Story” was premiered last night at the Angelika Theater in New York City following a packed Red Carpet event featuring director and screen writer Keenan “Special” Bristol and executive producer Prince Ford.

 

The movie explored the journey of a young student, Jordana, who’s hopes and dreams are to run the New York City Marathon, but she is sadly stricken with a severe sickle cell crisis and faces her mortality because of a genotypical blood shortage.

 

The point the film hoped to conquer was the fact that African-Americans, Latino and Caribbean blood donors who have this genotypical factor are scarce. Special and his organization “Music Brings Life (who also acted in the film and presented a song he wrote for the film) absolutely got his point across while also creating an ingenious and spellbinding movie.
