King of Newark
2017, English. Directed by Ebb Friday.
The movie is about a character named Malcolm Graves, an adult black man who was a Mayor's aide, running for Mayor of the great city of Newark and focusing on raising his preteen son. His past tries to come back and haunt him through his journey through adulthood, the heart aches, and the head aches that come with the difficult decisions in life when you are trying to stay on the right path. The movie illustrates consequences, both from right and wrong decisions, trust, loyalty, lies, violence and triumph. The movie is truly inspirational and focused on strength and overcoming the daily struggle of life.
