Philadelphia, PA (Monday, April 8, 2013) – The Filadelfia Latin American Film Festival (FLAFF) presents LEMON, 2011 DOC NYC NYC Special Jury Prize Winner, presented by film maker Beth Levinson and sponsored by The Philadelphia Foundation and University of the Arts. Immediately following the screening, Beth Levinson will respond to the film and host a Q & A session. Festival schedule information and tickets are available online at www.flaff.org.

LEMON tells the story of Lemon Andersen, the incredibly gifted Puerto Rican poet who struggles to free his family from poverty and pain as he exposes his most shocking secrets in a one-man show on the NY stage. It follows Lemon’s desperate battle to keep his past where it belongs and move into a brighter future. Redemption may lie within Lemon's grasp when none other than Spike Lee steps in to produce his show. The stakes are high. With the power of a cliffhanger, LEMON asks the larger question: Can any of us really escape the past?

To see Lemon perform live is akin to watching a tornado in full force destroying everything in its wake. Lemon Anderson is just that talented, bold and charismatic. Lemon is a force of nature.
