CGiii Comment

This one mightily serious film.

It addresses the racism that exists between the black and asian communities...few films have ever done that...and, ambitiously, this film tries to build the beginnings of a bridge.

A seriously accomplished film...that will anger more than it gives hope!

The(ir) Blurb...

On an evening commute, Tye detects racism from another passenger's glance. In revenge, he decides to follow and confront the man. Tye's preconceived notion of race and sexuality are tested when he discovered that his younger brother is gay, and the victim is in fact his younger brother's lover.
