In Which Heights, Exactly?
June 18, 2021 15:47 - 1 hour - 92 MBDiscussions of In The Heights focus on the star power of Anthony Ramos, the joy of summer in the city on a big screen -- and the fact that the actual Washington Heights is dominated by Afro-Latinx people, who don't have *any* presence in the film's many lead roles.
