Mississippi Scholar

Directed by Marcus Bleecker

With Shannon Merrill Brown, Sonny Marinelli, Gisla Stringer, Obba Babatundé and Asya Branch

A young man fights for the one thing that can get him out of life's vicious cycle: an education. James Wilson is a gifted scholar living in a dark world surrounded by human obstacles. Fighting within his inner circle threatens his chance. James' teacher pries to see what his future can hold, but tragedy strikes, and it is enough to make James doubt it all.
