It is a story about an inner city youth that uses music to unite a community.

An inner city youth uses music to unite a community. He uses his music not to get rich, but to influence a community from within, to come together positively, and rise above the negative environment in which he lives. American inner cities face ever so challenging times. It leaves young men and women little opportunity to rise above their social economic class. Creating something from nothing seems like a tale from past. This documentary profiles a young man, David or A.O.E., which means Art Over Everything. A.O.E. is a passionate underground hip-hop artist from the urban neighborhoods of Bridgeport, Connecticut. A.O.E. chooses music to foster a better life for himself and the people around him.
