Ready Or Not Trailer
During his senior year of high school, 17 year-old gun violence survivor and activist Marcel McClinton announces his candidacy to unseat a powerful white incumbent on Houston City Council. The son of a Black Army veteran and white German immigrant, Marcel is outspoken, fearless and media savvy, but, as a teenager, can also be naive and undisciplined. He goes to prom, raises money, learns policy - and says goodbye to his friends leaving for college as he faces down the hardball politics in a citywide race. Working class, gifted and righteous, Marcel searches for what it means to be a man - and a leader - through the crucible of his campaign. As the film climaxes, we see the raw political and psychological challenges of young people running for office, as well as the inspirational proof they can make a serious impact.
