Omari is the teenage son of Nya, a dedicated public school teacher. But Nya and Omari's father have elected to send him to private school to give him an advantage in life. Instead, after an incident caught on camera, the school threatens him with expulsion and charges. Actor Namir Smallwood talks about his personal connection to the role and the potential for others to see themselves in the story.
