Film Description:
"Heartbreak is a tribute to Black mothers. It was written and produced in response to the constant threat of brutality they and their children (particularly boys) live under. Through poetry and the voice of a 5-year-old boy it relates the very real physical and psychological toll that violence has on Black bodies and Black souls."
