"Taut, Tense And Terrific!"-Bill Bregoli, Westwood One

They don't want to be heroes…they just want to be heard.Light It Up is a gripping story about six misunderstood inner-city students trying to cope where there's little hope.

In this dazzling leading-role debut, Usher Raymond (Billboard's "Star Of The Year") plays Lester, the troubled teen who has finally been pushed to his limit.Taking matters into their own hands, Lester and his friends hold a police officer (Forest Whitaker) hostage and barricade themselves inside the school.Negotiator Audrey McDonald (Vanessa L. Williams) struggles to maintain peace while tensions simmer inside.As the crisis builds, "The Lincoln Six" discover talents they didn't know they had as their fight to expose dismal classroom conditions gains national attention.Starring "a cast of gifted newcomers" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times), this powerful and uplifting film lit up audiences around the nation.
