In the grey area between black and white, victim and aggressor, there are no easy answers. This compelling urban drama filmed entirely in Los Angeles sets out to demonstrate how strangers can affect one another, and how one person’s death can be another’s salvation. This collection of resources includes powerpoints which explore the constraints of the Independent Film as well as the use of symbolism. Photocopiable materials explore the transformation and redemption of characters, close analysis of key scenes and exploration of verbal and visual features. Ideal as a Level Two Visual Study Text.
