Hidden Rage
(Feature Film)
Joshua, a 14 year old freshman, goes to school everyday, because he has to. Everyday he gets picked on, beat up, and bullied. His teachers are not aware, security can only react to what they see and his only friend, Stephen, is too afraid to step to his defense. Rage has a way of hiding itself until it is too late, and in Joshua rage is buried deep. There are signs that his rage is trying to escape, but no one sees them. He indulges his anger in the games that he plays, the lists that he keeps, and the movies that he watches. Until one day he gets pushed too far.
This film is intended to reach out to the youth in today’s culture of violence. It explores many of the possible triggers that would cause a person to snap. At the same time this film is intended as a warning and demonstration of the consequences of resorting to violence to solve your problems. After the story, we will include interviews of actual juveniles behind bars in order to bring this reality home to the viewers. Hopefully, this film will act as a starting point for dialogue in schools around the nation.
