Boiling Pot

Four students drag a black student through the woods. They hang a noose on a barren tree and lynch him. It is October 2008. Detective Haven (Louis Gossett Jr.) and FBI Agent Long (Keith David) interrogate four students about the lynching: In the backdrop of the presidential election, what began as isolated incident escalates into blatantly racist fraternity parties and, ultimately, a series of racially-instigated murders. In a consciously-shifting society, where modern-day racism and racial tensions have seeped into all cultures white, black, Middle Eastern, Asian the characters come to the harsh reality that there are no sides in life, and that if pushed far enough, everyone can exhibit racist tendencies and behavior.
