Blue Hill Avenue
blue hill avenue focuses on the rise of the drug trade in boston, as seen through the eyes of three childhood friends. the time is the late ’70s, and tristan (allen payne), money (aaron d. spears), e-bone (william johnson), and simon (michael taliferro) are all high-school pals and petty thieves on the mean streets of the city’s south side. their antics bring them to the attention of benny (clarence williams iii), a charismatic drug dealer who takes the four friends under his wing. the most straight-and-narrow of the bunch, tristan manages to keep his nefarious trade under the radar of his parents. as the years p-ss, however, the dealers introduce crack to their line of narcotics, and tristan’s sense of guilt over his neighborhood’s demise leads to an inevitable betrayal of benny, followed by a grisly showdown.
blue hill avenue was the winner of the grand jury prize for best director at the 2001 urbanworld film festival.
