This event was a benefit for Revolution Books on February 9, 2011. Almost 400 people crowded into the Community Church in NYC for a fascinating and moving evening with Junot--conducted almost entirely as a Q&A with an audience (over half HS and college students) who never ran out of questions and comments.

The evening was introduced by Andy Zee, the spokesperson of Revolution Books, who offered an appreciation of Junot's work, and got into the unique work of Revolution Books and why we wanted to host this author.

Cinematography, editing, and production by Jordan Mattos and Fabian Jimenez.
