Anne B. Real has all the makings of a modern version of what the American dream is all about. It is filmed in the gritty streets of Spanish Harlem giving the viewer an unsanitised authenticity not often seen. We follow our heroine on her journey to find her voice amid self doubt, made worse by non-supportive and deceitful family members.The lack of profanity in the film is hardly noticed because we are so focused on the well written and well acted words.
