A taut morality play that begs a critical question about what we truly believe and to what lengths are we prepared to go to to defend those beliefs, whether it be taking another life or sacrificing our own l

Somehow simple truths and faith in God often get muddled with religion and politics, unforgiveness and bitterness, when we grow into adulthood, and we can't see clearly even though we may be fighting for what we perceive to be a just and righteous cause. In the real world victims do sometimes become the victomizers themselves. So how do we stop the cycle of violence that so many countries and peoples have experienced for centuries? Although this film doesn't pretend to have the answers, it does most creatively and dramatically ask the questions? At the end of the day, we are only responsible for one, and that one can make a difference if only in the life of another one. A must see little film (a directorial debut at that for Marion Comer) that cuts to the heart and soul of what do we really believe and what are we willing or not willing to do about it?

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
