Plot: OUR SONG follows three very real high school girls over one summer in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Best friends and confidants, the girls--Lanisha (Kerry Washington), Maria (Melissa Martinez), and Joycelyn (Anna Simpson)--have different family situations, different romantic interests, different moral codes, and their own unique dreams. Their differences add a searching, inquisitive element to their conversations, and ultimately make them closer. They are all dedicated members of the Jackie Robinson Steppers, a community marching band that holds daily rehearsals in a local parking lot. The girls talk about mastering the instruments they play and impressing the conductor. They also have jobs. Joycelyn works at a makeup boutique; Marie and Lanisha work at a bakery.

Pregnancy and teen motherhood are serious considerations for the girls, as many of their friends have babies. A compassionate, honest portrait of adolescent life in Brooklyn, OUR SONG is
