Rocky Otoo is the Bronx-bred teenage daughter of Ghanaian parents, and she's no pushover. She is a sassy high-achiever bound for college. With freedom in sight, Rocky rebels against her mother's rules. When their relationship reaches a breaking point, Rocky flees to her father, a chief in Ghana. What follows is captured in "Bronx Princess," by Yoni Brook and Musa Syeed, airing on PBS Tuesday, September 22, 2009 (check local listings).
