Twisted

Directed by Seth Michael Donsky

With Ray Aranha, Keivyn McNeill Grayes, Elise Ballard, Sharlene Brown and Erik Jensen

This retelling of Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist may be populated by drug pushers, pimps and prostitutes, but the book's classic themes remain the same. Caught under the thumb of a lecherous brothel owner, 10-year-old Lee befriends an aspiring musician named Angel who helps him escape his servitude and sends a maternal drag queen to vanquish the boy's enemies.
