Set in New York City's vibrant Washington Heights neighborhood, this musical drama follows a bodega owner dreaming of a better life while navigating the joys and struggles of his community. Based on the Tony winning stage musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton), the film is Miranda’s love letter to his Latin culture and NYC neighborhood. Themes of identity and aspiration are expressed through lively song and dance. It received critical acclaim, including wins at the Hollywood Critics Association Awards and nominations at the Golden Globes and Satellite Awards.
