Dark

Drugs, murder and life in the ghetto all feature in this haunting portrait of an urban generation, shadowed and often erased by violence. Centre stage is the 19 year old Thai. On the one hand he has a steady job but, he's also running with a neighbourhood gang. When, in a haze of jealousy, he kills another man, he is forced to go on the run and in the weeks that follow he discovers aspects of life that he never dreamed of in his narrow ghetto existence.
