A new drama, "A Thousand and One," stars Teyana Taylor as Inez, a young mother in New York City who kidnaps her 6-year-old son, Terry, from the foster care system. As Inez builds a home for her son, the two of them are confronted with the realities of gentrification in their community. Writer and Director A.V. Rockwell, who was born and raised in Queens, joins us to talk about the film which is now playing in theaters.
