Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 1991 Sundance Film Festival, this raw, uncompromising [and] auspicious feature debut (Screen International) from filmmaker Matty Rich is a remarkable tale about hope, passion and consequence told honestly, powerfully and ‘straight from the heart (Reader)! Dennis is sick of his dead-end life in one of Brooklyn’s toughest housing projects. Seizing an opportunity to get rich quick, he convinces his two best friends to help him rob the localdrug lord. Amazingly, the plan goes off without a hitch, leaving these urban Robin Hoods thinking they ve got it made until a life-altering event proves to Dennis that the only way out of this urban war zone is either in an honest day’s work or a body bag!
