kNew: The Poetic Screen Play
"Knew" is a hybrid lyrical screenplay in the heart of open mic night at the famous Blue Room in Kansas City's Jazz District. These poems are part of a story Sanders weaves around Dr. J. Dean, a quiet family man who flies to Kansas City to mourn the death of a father he hardly knew. There, in the old neighborhood where his father performed, The Blue Room holds just another stage where anyone can spit some lyrics. But this night, a new vision awakes when a community grieves a prodigal father. Something new emerges in the hearts of those willing to speak their truth . . . and just who takes the stage might surprise you.
