Hansel and Ghetto is a modern-day twist on the classic fairy-tale "Hansel and Gretel." Hansel (Renako Harmon) and Gretel (Cymiah Alexander) are siblings in present-day times. While Hansel gets ready for an interview, he begins to question if he may be looked at differently due to his race. At the same time, Gretel is having a hard time being herself in front of her friends. Meanwhile, in a fairy-tale world, we watch the classic fairy-tale go down, but with a couple new young antagonists. "Hansel and Ghetto" explores code-switching within the Black community, how it effects us, and how it's present in all ages.
