MAD MORRO
2004/48 MIN
Writer/Director: Kelrick Martin
Debbie Morris has waited 13 years for her family to finally be reunited. Her son James has been behind bars for his entire adult life. In prison he has become a hardened survivor of the system, strong of mind and quick with his fists - earning himself the nickname Mad Morro.
James’ aim is to return to some type of normal life – a career, a good woman, a family of his own, and to find peace. However he knows no other life aside from that behind bars. Mad Morro’s search sees attempted love, a battle with his own personal demons, and both the help and hindrance of his own family.
This is a powerful, confronting and dramatic story about familial love and bonding, and how the effect of prison can either reinforce or break apart that relationship.
