Piñero
"Piero" chronicles the turbulent life of a Latino legend, gay poet-playwright-actor Miguel Piero, whose urban poetry is seen as a forerunner to rap and hip-hop. Piero's experiences in hard-core Sing-Sing for small thefts and drug peddling inspired the Tony-nominated play Short Eyes, which premiered in 1974. The following fame and infamy were too much for the Latino bad-boy genius, who retired to New York's seedier neighborhoods.
