White Man’s Burden

In an alternate reality America where the societal roles have been reversed, this powerful film explores themes of prejudice, social class, and revenge. The protagonist, Louis Pinnock, is a white man struggling to make ends meet in his job at a chocolate factory while balancing responsibilities as a devoted husband and father. In an unfortunate turn of events, he is falsely accused of being a voyeur by Thaddeus Thomas, a successful black CEO. This misunderstanding spirals into chaos as Pinnock loses his job, suffers a brutal beating at the hands of black police officers, and ultimately sees his family evicted from their home. As desperation sets in, Louis takes drastic measures, armed with a gun to kidnap Thaddeus Thomas himself, demanding the justice he believes has been denied him. This gripping narrative delves deep into the complexities of modern-day America and examines how easily perceptions can be manipulated and lives turned upside down, forcing its characters and audience alike to question the nature of fairness, power dynamics, and the true meaning of justice.
