00:13Frank, come on.
00:16Anyways, guys, so our collaboration...

00:20What?
00:20That was insane. Wow, that was really cool. Thanks, Brendan.
00:24Sorry, I just got to do this thing.
00:25So, anyways, our next collaboration is going to be with somebody that I've been trying to work with for...
00:32Oh, can you...
00:32Okay, all right.
00:35So, anyways, our collaboration is going to be with...
00:39Hey, Darman.
00:39What's up, Sophia?
00:40Sniperwood wants to talk to you.
00:41Sniperwood?
00:42Hey, Darman.
00:43Hey, what's up, Leah?
00:44You're needed on set right now.
00:45I'm needed on set right now?
00:47Oh, my gosh.
00:48Okay.
00:49Hey, good to see you.
00:50Sorry, I got to run.
00:51They're waiting for me, but take care.
00:53I'll see you soon.
00:54Here, come with me, guys.
00:55I got to run.
00:55All right, guys.
00:56I can finally tell you the big news.
00:59So, the person that we're collaborating with is...
01:02Scene one, take two.
01:04Bruh.
01:08What did you say?
01:09Yeah, yeah.
01:10Everyone, please, let's settle down.
01:19Yo.
01:21Check it out.
01:22This kid thinks he's Picasso or something.
01:24Get back.
01:25Yeah.
01:26That's what I thought, punk.
01:28Yeah.
01:28That's what I thought, punk.
01:30Run up here isn't easy.
01:53Everywhere you look, danger lurks.
01:54You can either let it pull you down into the darkness, or find something to guide you to the light.
02:00For me, that something was my art.
02:02Becoming a famous artist was the only thing I ever wanted to do with me.
02:06What are you doing just standing there, kid? You done with class?
02:09Yeah.
02:10Get off the school property and go home!
02:11Hey!
02:12Let me in! Let me in! Let me in!
02:30As long as I had my art, I could block out all the chaos around me.
02:38At least for a while.
02:42Get off the school!
02:44No!
02:45Get off the school!
02:46No!
02:47Get off the school!
02:48Run!
02:49Run!
02:50Run!
02:51No!
02:52No!
02:53No!
02:54Stop!
02:55Stop!
02:56You know, you're not completely useless after all.
03:11Why do you waste your time doodling this stuff, huh?
03:15Wanna waste your life away like your deadbeat father?
03:18He used to like this stuff, too.
03:22And look where it got him.
03:24Stuck down in Florida, living like a bum.
03:28Stop!
03:58Stop!
03:59Stop!
04:00Stop!
04:01Stop!
04:02Stop!
04:03Most people laughed at me when I told them I wanted to be an artist.
04:06Hmph.
04:07Called it a dream that never happened.
04:09Stop!
04:10Stop!
04:11Stop!
04:12Stop!
04:13Stop!
04:14Stop!
04:15Stop!
04:16Stop!
04:17Stop!
04:18Stop!
04:19Stop!
04:20There's always that one person who believed in me.
04:25What?
04:28What?
04:43Go to the store and get me a six-pack.
04:55With what?
04:56I don't have any money.
05:02You're useless.
05:07Don't just stand there looking dumb.
05:10Pick it up.
05:13Get away from him.
05:20Nio, are you okay?
05:22What kind of mother are you?
05:26What business is it to you?
05:29I'm his abuela.
05:32According to the judge, that doesn't mean squat.
05:36You can't tell me how to raise him.
05:38But you're not raising him, are you?
05:40You're using him.
05:41I'm home.
05:44What if I report you to the police?
05:46You know, you've already tried that, remember?
05:48Devin didn't back up your story then, and he won't now.
05:53He knows better than to snitch on his mama.
05:56Isn't that right?
05:57Come on, me, honey.
06:18Here, sit.
06:19You okay?
06:21Yes, I'm okay.
06:22I thought the treatments were helping.
06:25I'm okay.
06:28But this isn't.
06:30You living here with these animals.
06:34I'm going to find a way to get you out of this.
06:36You hear me?
06:37Mijo, look at me.
06:38I'm serious.
06:40I talked to your father.
06:42He's going to file some papers with the judge.
06:45Oh, oh, oh my God.
06:47Look at this.
06:48Look at this.
06:49Look at what I got for you today.
06:50Thank you, grandma.
06:54You're not getting it.
07:03I'm so proud of you.
07:05Look at these.
07:07They're incredible.
07:08I just hope they're good enough for the school of art and design.
07:17Trust in yourself, mijo.
07:20You found a way to see beauty in this life.
07:23Even in the midst of all this ugliness.
07:26This is a gift from God.
07:29And you've got to hang on to it with all you've got.
07:33Yeah?
07:37Oh, my God.
07:38Oh, my God.
07:38Oh, my God.
07:40Look at this loser.
07:58Where'd you get those kicks?
07:59The dumpster?
08:00Oh, burn.
08:02In those clothes.
08:03Stealing looks from Goodwill now?
08:05And I thought my mom was broke.
08:08Nice one.
08:08You're wasting your time with all this drawing trash.
08:13You think you're better than us or something?
08:14Because you're not.
08:15So give it up, bro.
08:17Better start accepting your fate at the bottom.
08:20You're not going to say anything back.
08:21You're just going to sit there like a chump.
08:33Devon.
08:34Come with me, please.
08:36Okay.
08:37Devon.
08:37I've had several alarming phone calls about your situation at home.
08:42Why?
08:43It's fine.
08:45Is it?
08:47You know if you don't talk to me, I can't help you.
08:49He knows better than to snitch on his mama.
08:56No, really.
08:57I'm good.
08:58Can I go now?
08:59I have to be on my interview about four, and it's over an hour away.
09:03Go.
09:03Go.
09:03Go.
09:03Go.
09:07Go.
09:08Go.
09:08Go.
09:08Go.
09:09Go.
09:09Go.
09:10Go.
09:10Oh, that's so nice.
09:11That's cute.
09:12That's cute.
09:13Dimensions right there.
09:15Your eyes.
09:16Shades are like...
09:31So this is how you shape your subjects.
09:33You give us that realistic look.
09:35Make sure you use short, painful strokes.
09:40I give up.
09:41You guys are monsters.
09:43Wait, Mrs. Hall.
09:44Please.
09:45I want to hear the rest.
09:47Shades.
09:48Hey, um...
09:49What's gonna happen?
09:50You're gonna work out.
09:51Shades!
09:52Shades.
09:53Shades.
09:54Shades.
09:55Shades.
09:56Shades.
09:57Shades.
09:58Shades.
09:59Shades.
10:00Shades.
10:01Shades.
10:02Shades.
10:03Shades.
10:04Shades.
10:05Shades.
10:06Shades.
10:07Shades.
10:08Shades.
10:09Shades.
10:10I'm hoping you could look through my portfolio.
10:12Yeah, sure.
10:17I mean, these are really basic.
10:21That's what I was going to say.
10:23Like, you ever taken an art class, bro?
10:25You need to know the fundamentals.
10:29Like, this shows you a long way to go.
10:37This one's so cool.
10:40Don't listen to them. They're just jerks.
10:42You have talent that's clear.
10:45You really think?
10:47It's real, you know, raw, authentic.
10:50I can see the pain in her eyes, but I could also see the love.
10:54If you can bring that kind of emotion in all your other pieces,
10:58refine your technique,
10:59pretty soon they'll be asking you for lessons.
11:05Devon Rodriguez.
11:10I'm sorry.
11:31These just aren't good enough for admission.
11:32Unfortunately, this just isn't the place for you.
11:35Better look next to them.
11:36Look who it is.
11:52Lil' Picasso.
11:54Heard you got rejected from that fancy art school of yours.
11:57I mean, what did you think was going to happen?
12:00This is the Bronx.
12:02You're not going to get out of here with art.
12:04Okay, people.
12:06I'm Mr. Harper, your new teacher.
12:08Let's take our seats.
12:09Time is already wasting.
12:11Come on.
12:12This class is nothing but a waste of time.
12:14You think art's a waste of time?
12:16Uh, yeah.
12:17I'm a man, okay?
12:19I don't need to know about art.
12:20It doesn't make a difference in my life,
12:22our lives,
12:22or making stacks
12:24on stacks
12:25on stacks, baby.
12:27Nice, baby.
12:28Okay.
12:30Anybody else agree?
12:33Well, I don't.
12:35Art is a part of what makes
12:36all of our lives worth living.
12:38Man,
12:39where do you think you are?
12:41This is the Bronx.
12:43There's no art here.
12:44But that's not true.
12:46Art is all around us,
12:48even in the Bronx.
12:49Look,
12:51every time I see this mural,
12:53I smile just a little bit.
12:55I can't be the only one.
12:58What about that chain?
13:00Pretty amazing piece of art.
13:02And you must have agreed
13:03or you wouldn't have gotten it, right?
13:05Listen,
13:07art is what makes
13:08all of our lives more meaningful.
13:10You might not walk out of my class
13:12and become the next Banksy,
13:13but I promise,
13:14if you give it a shot,
13:16you'll walk out of my class
13:18feeling a lot better
13:19about the world around you.
13:21Because art helps people
13:23see the world
13:23in brand new ways.
13:25And you, as an artist,
13:26can inspire others
13:27to see things
13:28from an entirely
13:29different perspective.
13:31It can be an escape
13:32from the everyday
13:33for both the artist
13:34and the audience.
13:35Well, look who it is.
13:38No escape.
13:40No cameras either.
13:41What's wrong with you?
13:43Why do we fight back?
13:44Man, you're so soft.
13:54Art can restore
13:55people's faith in humanity,
13:57even in the darkest times.
14:00Art can heal people.
14:02It can bring people together.
14:10These are all very nice, Devon.
14:11Yeah, well,
14:14they weren't good enough
14:15for art school, so...
14:16One rejection
14:18isn't the end of the world.
14:20Every artist faces them
14:21no matter how talented they are.
14:23Look at Monet.
14:25Critics mocked him
14:26for his unfinished style.
14:28And he went on
14:29to become one of the most
14:30influential artists ever.
14:33Don't draw what you see.
14:35Draw what you feel.
14:37Fundamentals will get you
14:38halfway there,
14:39but the other half,
14:40that's emotion.
14:42And that's on you.
14:44You see,
14:45art isn't about
14:46getting it right.
14:47It's about sharing
14:48something about you
14:49with the world.
14:51That's what's missing.
14:53I'm not seeing
14:54what's in there.
14:58Good morning.
14:59Good morning.
15:00Here you go.
15:00Welcome.
15:02Welcome.
15:02Welcome.
15:02Welcome.
15:03Welcome.
15:03Welcome.
15:03Welcome.
15:03Is everything okay,
15:11Grandma?
15:11Yeah,
15:12I'm fine.
15:15But this,
15:17your art,
15:18it's incredible.
15:21I'm serious,
15:22mijo.
15:23God gave you eyes
15:24to see the world.
15:26But your art,
15:28let's others see you.
15:29you have a gift.
15:33They'll see it too.
15:35Oh,
15:36I have something special
15:38for your spring break.
15:42Oh,
15:43my goodness.
15:45Go see your father.
15:47It'll do you good
15:48to get a change of scenery.
15:51Thank you,
15:51Grandma.
15:52Oh,
15:53you're welcome,
15:54mijo.
15:56Art's in the blood,
15:57you know.
15:57I've been drawing before
15:59since I could walk.
16:00You know,
16:00I tattooed out
16:01the neighborhood
16:01before I was 24.
16:04Dad,
16:05did you always know
16:06that art was your way out?
16:12Ow.
16:13I wasn't trying
16:14to go nowhere.
16:15Trying was just a way
16:16to get all this
16:17stuff out of my head.
16:20Didn't realize
16:20until later
16:21how much
16:21my art changed
16:22people's lives.
16:27You see her?
16:29She got into
16:29a bad car accident.
16:31If there was
16:31a big scar on her back,
16:33the kids would mock her,
16:35give her complex,
16:36until she got
16:36the confidence.
16:39My art did that.
16:45That's incredible.
16:47What is it?
16:48It's a honey mask.
16:50It wards off evil spirits.
16:52Keeps you safe
16:52from harm and betrayal.
16:54Kind of like
16:54fighting fire with fire.
16:57One day you could have
16:58it on your arm too.
17:02It looks awesome.
17:08Dad?
17:09You good?
17:10It's fine.
17:11It's fine.
17:12It happens all the time.
17:14Go lock it up.
17:16Well,
17:16how do you need
17:17to celebrate?
17:27Dad!
17:29Hey.
17:30Hey.
17:31Dad?
17:33I'm calling you help,
17:34okay?
17:35Dad, stay with me.
17:36You hear me?
17:36Stay with me, Dad.
17:37Please.
17:39Hello?
17:40911, please.
17:41Send the ambulance.
17:43Dad.
17:45No, no, no, no, no.
18:00Art can be an escape.
18:05Art can heal people.
18:07Stop painting what you see
18:28and start painting
18:29what you feel.
18:30No, no, no, no, no.
19:00Wow.
19:02Devon.
19:04This is a real step forward
19:05in your work.
19:08Are you going to submit it
19:09in your next application
19:10to HSA-D?
19:11Remember,
19:12you have one more shot.
19:16That's all I've been thinking about
19:18since I got rejected.
19:19Definitely going to reapply,
19:21but I need 20 new pieces.
19:22I just feel stuck.
19:26Got to find a way
19:27to move forward,
19:28you know?
19:31Wait.
19:43That was something
19:43that just might inspire you.
19:47It's my old sketchbook.
19:49I used to spend hours
19:50in Washington Square Park
19:52just drawing all the people
19:54nobody else noticed.
19:57Think about it.
19:59Thank you, Mr. Harper.
20:00Really.
20:11Give that bag.
20:12Stop it.
20:12Give that bag.
20:13Actually, give it back.

21:19Come on.
21:34Come on.
21:35Man, they told me they were taking me to someplace safe.
21:39Where could I ever be safe in the Bronx?
21:41Ready to come home
21:51Finally
21:53Oh my god
21:56Not only that
21:57Look, you accept this letter
21:58Mija, is your dinner?

22:59My whole life
23:00I've been doing my thang
23:02If that money ain't no thang
23:04Anything I do, I do for the gang
23:06If that money ain't no thang
23:11Mr. Hyper
23:12Hey!
23:13Look who it is!
23:15New York City's up and coming sensation
23:18Proud of you
23:20I don't know about all that
23:22My work isn't really reaching out the way I wanted it to
23:25What do you mean?
23:26Your work is hanging in the finest museum in the city
23:30You're in all the papers
23:32And the work?
23:34It must be coming in in droves, right?
23:36Not as much as you think
23:38But that's not the point
23:39I wanna do what you taught me
23:40I want my artwork to bring people together
23:43Inspire them
23:44Not just the art critics
23:46People I draw to
23:47It's not about the fame
23:49Or the art awards
23:50It's about this
23:51This is what matters
23:53Inspiring them
23:54Reaching out to them in places that they can't be
23:56Not in some museum
23:58It's here
24:00Then don't just share what you think the people wanna see
24:04Show them
24:05What they can't find anywhere else on their screen
24:08Show them you, Devon
24:10Let them see the world through your eyes
24:202020, the year the world went dark
24:23Millions are staying home, confined to their houses
24:26No one knows when this will be over

25:26Just make one person feel seen.
25:32Art can heal people.
25:34It brings people together.
25:39Mijo, God gave you eyes to see the world.
25:44But your art lets others see you.
25:49I'm sorry I didn't hurt.
25:50I drew you guys straight up.
25:52I didn't realize it at that time.
26:01My entire life was about to change.
26:13In under an hour, my video had over 300,000 views.
26:22I didn't realize it was this time.
26:29I found you.
26:31I thought you were dead.
26:34I didn't know how to hit it.
26:35I thought you were dead, you ran out of 300,000 views.
26:40I thought you were dead.
26:41I thought you were dead.
26:43I thought you were dead.
26:45I thought you were dead.
26:46I drew you. I drew you. I drew you. I drew you. I drew you.
26:58Is some coffee for you Mimo?
27:16I guess it wasn't all I want to be.
27:34All the way.
27:46Yo, Devon? Is that really you?
27:55I know it's long overdue, but I'm really sorry about how I treated you back in the day.
27:59I was just so angry all the time. Still, no excuse, but I shouldn't have taken it out on you.
28:07Actually, man, it's cool. It's good to see you.
28:11I see you everywhere. You're blowing up.
28:14I guess I was wrong about Art not being able to help you get out of here.
28:18And you did it with no help.
28:20Actually, man, I had a lot of help. Even from you.
28:29You just didn't know yet.
28:44You're blowing up.
28:45I like you.
28:46I like you.
28:47I like you.
28:48I like you.
28:49I like you.
28:50I like you.
28:51I like you.
28:52I like you.
28:53This whole night's my lunch with an ice cream.
28:56Oh, wow, look at that.
28:57Yeah, I hope you like it.
28:58I like you.
28:59I like you while we were just sitting there.
29:00Yeah.
