- A Winter Tale
In Production
Status Updated: Jan-24-06
Shots
ring out one winter night, and a bullet meant for a local
street dealer finds and kills a nine year-old boy. Shock,
sorrow, and suspicion ripple through the neighborhood, and
begins to tear the community apart. In this tense and
volatile atmosphere, GENE WRIGHT, a 40-something social
worker is called on by the city to form a 'support group'
for young black men. What he pulls together is much more
rough and real than anything the city ever envisioned.
