Three ambitious yet naive filmmakers Justin, Dana and John move to Brooklyn intent on making a revealing documentary about clashing factions of inner-city life. Justin follows the day to day lives of two NYPD officers while Dana's portion focuses on Thomas, a black youth poised to move up from the hardships of low-income living. As the filming progresses, both the subjects of the documentary as well as the filmmakers are confronted with challenges that cloud their objectives. Stories merge, relationships corrode and the filmmakers can not remain impartial observers, but instead become active participants in the underground world they set out to observe. This Audience Award-winning film from Slamdance examines the sometimes problematic relationship between documentary filmmakers and their subjects within the framework of a gritty urban thriller.
