The Angry Black Girl And Her Monster

description

Inspired by Mary Shelley’s FRANKENSTEIN, THE ANGRY BLACK GIRL AND HER MONSTER tells the story of Vicaria, a brilliant teenager who believes death is a disease that can be cured.

Death is ever present in Vicaria's world: violence, police brutality, and substance abuse. After watching her mother succumb, and witnessing the brutal and sudden murder of her brother, she's had enough. Vicaria decides to put an end to all this death... by bringing the dead back to life. Bomani J. Story, the film's writer and director, crafts a thrilling tale about a family that, despite the terrors of systemic pressure, will survive and be reborn again, and challenges our ideas of life and death.
