Broke Down Drone follows two cousins from Chicago’s West Side who dream of making it as artists while navigating the harsh realities of their neighborhood. Trapped in a cycle of violence but driven by hope, they dream of a better future—placing their faith in a broken drone that once soared, but now lies grounded, much like their own aspirations.
