Jodón

Set in the Bronx early 2000’s, JODÓN follows siblings Andrea and Joel, children of Dominican immigrants navigating adolescence, identity and survival in a community pulsing with culture and constraint. While Andrea is driven and determined to rise beyond their circumstances, Joel finds refuge in his artistic talent, struggling to stay grounded amid the pressures of his environment. Their unbreakable bond is shattered when a routine trip to the bodega leads to Joel’s arrest for marijuanna possession – an incident that results in his detention and eventual deportation to Dominican Republic, a place he hasn’t called home since the age of 3.
