Lin-Manuel Miranda's 'dream team' presents long-awaited 'In The Heights' trailer

"Award-winning "Hamilton" composer, lyricist and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda and film director Jon M. Chu might be the ideal dynamic duo that could bring Latinos the "Crazy Rich Asians" moment many have been craving for.

"Chu, who directed "Crazy Rich Asians," partnered with Miranda to adapt Miranda's Tony-winning musical "In The Heights" into a film set to be released in 2020 during the summer.

"In The Heights" is a story "about a block that is disappearing" and follows the lives of several characters dealing with issues of family, love and community as gentrification begins to take hold of their beloved, predominantly Latino neighborhood.

"The musical was praised for countering Latino stereotypes; one of the main characters, Nina, is a studious, ambitious young Latina who goes to Stanford University.

It's about Dreamers.

This movie is important in the age of Trump with Latino children in cages at the border and "Build That Wall."
