The film tells us of the challenges that young people have to face in order to follow their dreams in the Big City.

Director Statement

Cry of the City is a multi layered, moral tale in a fashion context. Instead of giving answers it's more about raising questions. It is a celebration of being different, but also an expression of feelings possibly emerging from being alienated based on real or imagined reasons.
