Rating:
The first feature-length Canadian drama to be created by an all-black team of filmmakers, this inner city film from writer-director Clement_Virgo tracks the lives and struggles of several urban minorities during one Easter weekend. As the pirate radio disc jockey known as Rude (Sharon_M._Lewis) broadcasts throughout a Toronto project, an artist named General (Maurice Dean Witt) arrives at the home of his wife Jessica (Melanie Nicholls-King) after serving several years in jail for drug dealing. He's there to reconcile with Jessica, who is now a police officer, and with the ten-year-old son, Johnny (Ashley_Brown), whom he didn't help raise. Impeding his progress is General's brother Reece (Clark_Johnson), who covets his brother's wife and still works for the neighborhood's racist white drug lord Yankee (Stephen_Shellen) -- who in turn wants General back in charge of the drug trade. Meanwhile, the young boxer Jordan (Richard_Chevolleau) reluctantly accompanies his fellow athletes on a testosterone-fueled gay-bashing spree, even though he is beginning to believe that he may be homosexual. As all of this is happening, the heart-broken window dresser Maxine (Rachel_Crawford) faces the dissolution of her relationship with her boyfriend after she has an abortion. Karl Williams, Rovi
