About “Lenox Street: The Film”
"Lenox Street" follows the lives of 19 teenagers from one of Boston’s most violent neighborhoods with 39 major school infractions as they enter a three-month performing arts workshop and then go on stage around the city.

"Lenox Street" premiered at the 2017 GlobeDocs Film Festival and continues to gain strong critical review. beheard.world is currently negotiating with distributors for broader release.
