With director Matt Porterfield in person!
HAMILTON chronicles two summer days in the life of a young family: Lena, 17, and Joe, 20, two recent and accidental parents residing in a diverse suburban neighborhood in northeast Baltimore City.
When the picture begins, Lena is looking for Joe. Lena, who lives with Joe’s family, wants to see him before she leaves town for the month of August; she hasn’t seen him for weeks. He’s rented an apartment from a neighbor and works two jobs, providing her with money but very little time. Through Lena’s search, we are introduced to her daughter, her family and friends, her neighborhood, and Joe, her baby’s father.
