A docudrama based in Wilmington, DE around the riots following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1969, and the effects of those events on the present-day city.

The Big Room

Following two young people and their online interactions, The Big Room explores the lack of social connection between young people in urban settings, and how technology plays a role in isolating the past from the present.
