Zoned In is a documentary directed by Daniela Zanzotto. It is based on a young African American trying to break boundaries and be a successful person without losing his background roots. Daniel Nartey, who lived in the South and moved back to the South Bronx, has had his life documented for over five years. By the age of 17, he had a kid, seen his brothers come in and out of jail, and sold drugs to make ends meet. In the movie, Daniel goes from a young teenager to a young man keeping his same beliefs of not agreeing with the government system. He finds out that even in college most of the African American people there are still not negotiable. He finds it hard to be able to communicate with them on a deeper level more than college work. Will he decide to follow the same views and give up his views on the American system, or will he finish college with the same views?
