    • Synopsis
    • 1968 is the year that racial tensions came to a violent head in the United States. Our film aims to capture the zeitgeist of that year.

      Jim, a member of the Black Radical Movement, is assaulted by the police and is badly injured. He is sheltered in a warehouse by William, a wealthy college student and Marxist. The two idealists from opposite ends of society confront each other while a violent riot rages on outside.
