"Majo" Tonorio, a.k.a. Filly Brown (Rodriguez), is a raw, young Los Angeles hip-hop artist who spits from the heart. When a sleazy record producer offers her a crack at rap stardom, Majo faces some daunting choices. With an incarcerated mother, a record contract could be the ticket out for her struggling family. But taking the deal means selling out her talent and the true friends who helped her to the cusp of success. Nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.
