Set in early 1970’s Chicago, “Pill Hill” examines the aspirations, failures, conflicts and success of six childhood friends, black steel mill workers, struggling for white-collar lives. No less difficult and painful are the changes in their relationships with each other during that dynamic and volatile period of (1973-1983) when the hippie generation transformed into the yuppie generation. This heartwarming drama explores the importance of choices, both good and bad, and the consequences of those actions. Watch Video |
