Pass Over Film Score: Hope and Grief
Pass Over is a 2018 American drama film directed by Spike Lee, and starring Jon Michael Hill, Julian Parker, Ryan Hallahan and Blake DeLong.

Plot Summary: Moses and Kitch, two young black men, chat their way through a long, aimless day on a Chicago street corner. Periodically ducking bullets and managing visits from a genial but ominous stranger and an overtly hostile police officer, Moses and Kitch rely on their poetic, funny, at times profane banter to get them through a day that is a hopeless retread of every other day, even as they continue to dream of their deliverance.
For the film’s music, Howard Drossin created a small ensemble score that moves between profound moments of human connection and mourning.
