Description
A brutal, gut-wrenching insight into the truth of seething inner-city life through the perspective of a young black man in America today. Set in Chicago and Los Angeles, a gripping urgency fills these tales of addiction, drug culture, police brutality, families split at the seams and pervasive, penetrating anger. A passionate and heart-felt look at racism in America.
