The Rise and Fall of Miss Thang directed by Stacie Hawkins (USA, 2007, 89 min, Narrative/Fiction)
Starring Dormeshia Sumbry-Edwards, an internationally renowned tap dancer who was the first female performer in the Tony Award Winning Bring In Da' Noise, Bring In Da' Funk, The Rise and Fall of Miss Thang tells a story of Dee Miller, a former tap dance prodigy. Dee now spends her time ruling the dance floor at the local nightclub. Living with her Mother, Dee uses the money she earns working part-time in her mother's home hair salon to finance her lifestyle. She refuses to grow up - until the day she learns of her mother's dark secret - a gambling habit that has thrown the family into financial ruin and threatens to divide them forever. In the midst of turmoil, Dee's only comfort is a new friend who reintroduces her to the world of tap - an art form that has always been close to her heart.
