The Red Effect (2017)
In a southeast Washington, DC community, tensions escalate after the tragic shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a white man. A powerful television interview with Glenn Johnson, a lifelong community member and leader of a program designed to offer second chances, sparks a movement. As he passionately defends his students and their struggles against stereotypes, Glenn becomes the voice of a community long oppressed by racial inequality. Naomi Morgan, a determined young white reporter, embarks on a deep investigation, challenging her own beliefs as she uncovers the truth. With compelling performances from Pierre Walters and Tracy Allyn, The Red Effect dives into difficult questions surrounding racial injustice, the power of redemption, and the true meaning of fairness in an unequal society.
