What Goes Around

Logline

When a black teenager avenges his cousin’s dignity by stabbing her drug-dealing suitor, he sets off a chain of bloody events that leads to his own death.

‘What Goes Around’ delivers an ironic and uncompromising commentary on the interconnectedness of life within one high rise block. You could see it as a dramatic realization of Newton’s principle – that energy is never lost but, rather, passes from one body to the next. On this block and on this day the consequences take a heavy toll on life.

My theme, broadly speaking, is the title: what goes around comes around.
