“True Crew” details Aaron Z. and Robaire’s friendship, which predates the band. What at first seems like just a dance practice quickly turns into a gentle but much-needed exchange of hearts. Like the movie, this story focuses on the concerns that come with friendship, while highlighting the strength and support that comes with having true friends.
