Bronx Princess

This looks like a cool movie that's coming out soon... check it out!

Bronx Princess tells the story of Rocky Otoo, the Bronx-bred teenage daughter of Ghanaian parents. She is a sassy high-achiever bound for college. With freedom in sight, Rocky rebels against her mother's rules. When their relationship reaches a breaking point, Rocky flees to her father, a chief in Ghana. What follows is captured in Bronx Princess, a tumultuous coming-of-age story set in a homeland both familiar and strange. Her precocious -- and very American -- ideas of a successful, independent life conflict with her father's traditional African values. Reconciling her dual legacies becomes an unexpected chapter in this unforgettable young woman's education.
