Bedlam Street

A gritty, character-driven drama, the locally shot “Bedlam Street” thoughtfully examines crime, poverty, race, religion, and family in a bleak inner-city environment. Taking place over a single day near Christmas, the film follows the struggles of several interconnected characters. Ajani and Muna are immigrants running a convenience store and attempting to build a better life for themselves and their young son. Gabe is a troubled youth with an expectant girlfriend and a desperate need for money. Police officer Leon is struggling with his faith while trying to manage communication difficulties with his dying mother and his impressionable teenage son. And Catlin is a drugged-out prostitute rapidly losing all hope.
