Fly!

"Fly!" tells the tender story of Jawanza, a young African American boy who feels isolated and lonely. He finds solace and companionship on his building's rooftop, where he encounters a homeless man.

Through this intergenerational bond and his newfound connection with nature, Jawanza learns about empathy, kindness, and the joy of belonging, transforming his initial loneliness into a sense of wonder and friendship. It's a gentle narrative about finding connection in unexpected places.
