Description

Quick: name your favorite tween African-American heavy metal band. Stumped? Next time you’ll be able to namedrop the up-and-coming trio Unlocking the Truth. While their peers were listening to hip hop, these quirky kids found themselves attracted to rock music. Director Luke Meyer documents the astonishing story of baby-faced Brooklyn rockers Alec Atkins, Malcolm Brickhouse, and Jarad Dawkins as they set out to prove they are more than a novelty act, advancing from viral video sensations to the youngest band to ever play at Coachella. Despite dealing with the high-stakes pressures of a million dollar record deal, and a music industry intent on taking control of their lives and music, these are just kids who want to play. In Person: Director Luke Meyer; Producer Tom Davis; Unlocking the Truth.
