Synopsis (Written by Video studio Assistant Mentor, Aneisha Malcolm):
The Artists For Humanity Video studio has created a short film giving a glance at the struggles teens face everyday. The movie depicts four young teens with different problems and juggling the pressures of being in the middle of childhood and adulthood. TJ (the main character) deals with being rejected for a job because he is young and inexperienced. While trying to come to terms with this disappointment, he takes his frustrations out on three other teens he sees goofing off in a train station. While they all have their own problems, the characters must learn to come together and find a common ground in a society that misunderstands them.
