Benjamin Bratt (Law & Order) delivers a masterfully vivid portrayal of the startlingly original Latino icon, poet-playwright-actor Miguel Piñero! After doing hard time in prison for drug-dealing and petty theft, Piñero turned his prison experiences into the Tony Award®-winning play Short Eyes. Then, as a founder of the famed Nuyorican Poets Café on Manhattan's Lower East Side, Piñero crafted an influential style of rhythmic urban poetry that is widely recognized as a precursor to rap and hip-hop. Brought to you by executive producer John Leguizamo and featuring Academy Award® winner* Rita Moreno (West Side Story), Giancarlo Esposito (Ali) and Talisa Soto (Mortal kombat 1, 2 & 3) -- critics everywhere were mesmerized by Bratt's graphic performance of this unforgettable bad-boy genius!
