Moonlight

A look at three defining chapters in the life of Chiron, a young black man growing up in Miami. His epic journey to manhood is guided by the kindness, support and love of the community that helps raise him.

While following Chiron’s life, the film is able to touch on other themes like mass incarceration, the school-to-prison pipeline, bullying, the drug cycle, and death. But it’s his childhood friend, Kevin, who meets him at every stage of his life and ends up contributing heavily to the turning points.
