"Everything changed in one night." MTV Doc Films has revealed a new official trailer for the acclaimed documentary titled 17 Blocks, now known as 17 Blocks: The Final Cut for release this year. It originally premiered in 2019 at the Tribeca Film Festival, and played at numerous other festivals through the last few years. Using two decades of intimate home video, the documentary tells the story of the Sanford family, whose struggles with addiction and gun violence eventually lead to a journey of love, loss, and acceptance. Filmmaker Davy Rothbart has been filming the Sanford family since 1999, and has put together 20 years of footage to make this film. The title is a reference to how many blocks away they live from the US Capitol in Washington D.C. It's described in reviews as an "essential viewing doc about race & class in America" and "remarkably raw and heartfelt." 17 Blocks is a very powerful, honest story of how life changes as we grow up. ›››
