TALK TO ME

synopsis

The true life story of Ralph Waldo "Petey" Greene Jr. In the mid-to-late 1960s, in Washington D.C., vibrant soul music and exploding social consciousness were combining to unique and powerful effect. It was the place and time for Petey to fully express himself - sometimes to outrageous effect - and "tell it like it is." With the support of his irrepressible and tempestuous girlfriend Vernell, the newly minted ex-con talks his way into an on-air radio gig where he becomes an iconic radio personality, surpassing even the established popularity of his fellow disc jockeys. Petey was determined to make not just himself but his community heard during an exciting and turbulent period in American history.
