Insult to Injury
In the height of the great depression, a white racist loses his foot to the iron wheel in an attempt to hop a fast moving train. When pulled to saftey by an idealistic black doctor, a clash of wills ensues - each man believing he is being tested by god and the other is the devil.
This film is a metaphor for the current global turmoil - referencing the heated climate between Mid-East and Western world fanaticism. INSULT TO INJURY examines how truly abstract and case specific are the concepts of “right” and “wrong.”
Having screened in Paris, London, Barcelona, Los Angeles and in the short films corner of the 2006 Cannes film festival, Insult to Injury is gaining both international momentum and a wide perspective on it’s bold subject matter.
Now subtitled in four different languages, it will be on a 10 city European tour in may ’07, followed by the New York City premier.
