Lift is the story of an intelligent, young, African-American woman who works at an upscale department store, but sidelines as one of Boston’s most accomplished "boosters" or shoplifters. This stylish drama illustrates the effects that materialism has on a dysfunctional black family and was awarded the Grand Jury Prize at the 2001 Urbanworld Festival, nominated for two 2002 Independent Spirit Awards, and received critical acclaim at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival. From the producers of Boys Don’t Cry and You Can Count On Me
