In the summer of 1993, Denver is thrust into a state of fear and chaos as a wave of violent crimes sweeps through the city, a period that would come to be known as the “Summer of Violence.”

Against this volatile backdrop, we meet Naomi, a bright and passionate college graduate on the cusp of adulthood. Naomi has always followed the path laid out for her, excelling in her studies and earning a place in law school, much to the pride of her traditional parents. But as the summer heat intensifies, so does Naomi’s desire to forge her own path—one that diverges sharply from her parents’ expectations.

Naomi decides to reject law school, choosing instead to pursue her true passion: poetry. Her decision is met with disbelief and disappointment from her parents, who struggle to understand her yearning for creative expression over the security of a legal career.

Determined to find her own voice, Naomi immerses herself in Denver‘s arts scene, using her poetry as a way to make sense of the violence and unrest surrounding her. As she navigates this uncertain path, Naomi finds solace in her art and begins to build connections within her community, becoming a beacon of hope for those around her. But the violence that grips Denver is relentless, and Naomi’s world is shattered when those closest to her become victims of the very crimes she’s been trying to understand.

The loss of loved ones pushes Naomi to the edge, forcing her to confront not only the brutality of her environment but also the depths of her own grief and despair.

In her darkest moments, Naomi must decide whether to succumb to the chaos or rise above it. She turns to her poetry as a lifeline, channeling her pain and anger into words that resonate with a community desperate for hope. Through her art, Naomi begins to heal and inspire others, proving that even in the face of overwhelming darkness, creativity and resilience can light the way forward.

“Summer of Violence” is a poignant and powerful coming-of-age story that explores the intersection of personal ambition, family expectations, and the impact of violence on a community. Naomi’s journey is one of self-discovery, as she learns that the path to finding her true purpose is fraught with challenges, but also filled with moments of profound beauty and connection.

This film captures the raw emotions of a city in turmoil and the indomitable spirit of a young woman who refuses to be defined by her circumstances. Ultimately, “Summer of Violence” is a story about the power of art to heal, unite, and transcend even the most devastating of times.

Starring; Kasey Inez, Jahking Guillory, Pedro Correa, Damon Gupton, Madhulika Krishnan, and Stelio Savante.
