Sean Nelson as Fresh in 'Fresh' against a blue background featuring a city landscape
The Big Picture The 1990s were a decade in which the film industry took considerable leaps forward in terms of representing the diverse audience of moviegoers that supported the industry. While Spike Lee’s all-time masterpiece Do The Right Thing was infamously snubbed of a Best Picture nomination at the Academy Awards, it was successful in kickstarting a wave of realistic “slice of life” films that shed a spotlight on the black experience.
What Is ‘Fresh’ About? Fresh centers around a young drug runner who decides to put two rival gangs against each other in an attempt to put an end to the violence that has enveloped his community. Fresh enjoys many of the same things that any 12-year-old kid does; he likes playing basketball, hanging out with his friends, and flirting with girls. However, Fresh is also an active drug runner for the drug dealer Esteban , and is caught within a brutal war with several rival factions.
