Liberty Kid

When the best friends Derrick (Al Thompson) and Tico (Kareem Savi *on) lose their concession-stand jobs at the Statue of Liberty after the terrorist attacks, they drift into low-level drug dealing and petty insurance scams. But the Dominican-born Derrick has higher aspirations for a college future and regular support payments for his two young children, and when Army recruiters come calling -- assuring him that a war with Iraq is "not gonna happen" -- he makes a decision he will come to regret.
