Zoned In

Filmed over the course of nine years, this documentary follows 16-year-old Daniel as he begins a new life in the Bronx, becomes the first in his family to graduate from high school, and then finds himself struggling at his Ivy League college. Director Daniela Zanzotto's film tracks Daniel -- who narrates -- as he rises above his troubled past, encounters new barriers that threaten to derail his optimism, and once again finds the will to succeed.
