Plus NWPA Filmmaker Spotlight: Howard Glover with Q&A

Pug, a young boy growing up on a combative West Baltimore block, finds solace in a group of illegal dirt bike riders known as The "12 O'Clock Boys". To Baltimore locals, the riders are hooligans - a group of urban dirt-bikers that perform death-defying stunts at excessive speeds through traffic and impressively evade the hamstrung police, who must adhere to a no-chase policy to maintain public safety. Yet they are heroes to Pug, a bright, young adolescent living in the city's dangerous Westside neighborhood. Filled with stunningly kinetic footage that puts the viewer on up-close ride-alongs with the bikers, 12 O'Clock Boys provides a compelling and personal story of a young boy and his dangerous, thrilling dream. 76 minutes. Directed by:
Lofty Nathan.
