THE FILM
After the election of a fascist, alt-right candidate to the highest office in the land, an interracial couple struggles to protect their son in a dystopian nation divided by race.
As a newly elected Commander-in-Chief steps into office, things quickly begin to spiral out of control. He wages a policy war against many of the rights & freedoms that have protected the marginalized citizens of the United States. His flippant decisions and social mockery negatively impact our foreign relations. All of this causes a bubbling up of fear and hatred toward our fellow man, that many believed was long past.
The country is subtly distracted by smokescreens, as tensions build into social chaos, and before they know it, they are manipulated into horrors of the past they never saw coming.
​
Is this where we're headed, doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past? Or can we come together and change our course? We believe that we ALL can!
