NLA presents RAGE The Film

Written by Carlos Anthony, and Co-Directed by Carlos Anthony and Katrina Medalle, RAGE explores themes of trauma, justice, morality, and the nature of truth. It examines the complexities of human behavior, the motives behind criminal acts, and the impact of police violence on victims and their families, especially within the black community. It also delves into the inner workings of the criminal justice system, examining the challenges and limitations faced by law enforcement officials in their pursuit of justice. Filming Summer 2024. Thank you to the Canada Council for the Arts for making this possible.
