PHI'LA -- The Musical
After losing students to gang violence, Dorsey High School Drama Instructor Jamal Speakes decided to engage his students in a unique form of "Edu-tainment."

The musical addresses racial tensions and violence between Black and Latino communities. Eye on L.A. followed the cast from rehearsals at Dorsey High to a special performance at L.A.
