Role Model

20-year-old Jason does everything he can to be a good role model for his brother Jordan. Years of hard work in the face of adversity have paid off, giving Jason an opportunity to go to college and help his brother do the same. However, everything suddenly changes, as Jason is forced to choose between letting down his family and breaking the law. Role Model is an original short film that focuses on this pivotal decision and questions what it means to do the right thing. It will examine the tough choices that poverty-stricken families are forced to make every day and challenge the presumptions we make about those who break the law.
