Tina Mabry's Compelling
Futurestates Short
"Crossover"
We've covered some very thought-provoking short films, such as Remigration by Barry Jenkins and White by Sayeeda Clarke, from the popular Futurestates series and today we get to add another one to the list. Crossover, directed by Tina Mabry (Mississippi Damned), was just released and -- as expected -- does not disappoint.
A synopisis for the short states...
In 2028, in a world where separate but equal has been re-instated along socioeconomic lines, a struggling mother of two must decide whether to illegally sell her own organs in order for her kids to crossover to a community where opportunities are limitless. When she learns that her son's autism will prevent him from crossing over, she has to make a heart-wrenching choice whether to allow her gifted daughter to crossover alone or to keep their family intact in an eroding, dangerous, and dead-end community.
Presented and produced by ITVS, Futurestates is a series of fictional short films that present intriguing visions about what life in America will be like in the decades and centuries to come.
