Wounded Hearts

A contemporary love story set in Houston about jay, a recovering alcoholic, part-time cab driver and jazz musician raising his daughter alone after the sudden death of his wife. Jay who is emotionally crippled and distant to the point he shuts out his mother and brother, begins to love again when Lisa, an advertising executive enters his cab one day.

Directed by J.D. Hawkins, Wounded Hearts leans on a strong ensemble — J.D. Hawkins, Channon Dade, Tenia Yarbrough — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2004.
