Product Details:
| You can never go back . . . From a first-time writer/director and a promising group of young actors comes a chilling story that probes the moral dilemmas teens face in the pressure cooker of 21st century society. Jacob Aaron Estes “Mean Creek” turns the classic tale of an American bully on its head. When a group of teenage boys and one bold young girl seek playful revenge on the kid who has tormented them, nothing turns out the way they expected. What beings as a trip down a river and a childish prank soon turns into an eye-opening encounter with the enemy – a harrowing journey into wilderness and an event that will force them to grapple with the very meaning of friendship and responsibility. Like and adolescent “Heart of Darkness,” this adventure down the river turns a shadowy corner, kicks off a search for personal redemption and leads to sharply contrasting decisions that will haunt each of the teens’ lives forever. |
