"If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere". "Brain Fest" is an up close and personal look into the journey of four teenagers from The South Bronx. After graduating high school, while navigating the pitfalls of the treacherous New York City streets, the group finds light at the end of the tunnel, four hours south in DC.
