This movie was viewed at the BendFilm Festival in Bend, OR. It is a passionate movie about race, politics and relationships. It has a powerful cast of very moving characters who are trying to determine how to live their lives.

Religion is brought into it but it is minimal which is should be, especially since one of the main characters doesn't really live by the religious teachings he says he follows.

There is tragedy and sadness that is very realistic given the circumstances of this small town in the South, but one would hope that this would not happen in the 21st century.

I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes movies that make them think and have strong characters and a strong message.

I really enjoyed this movie concept and thought it was a little like Dark Angel which was one of my favorites. The idea of utilizing a telepathic individual as a 'weapon' has pros and cons but bottom line is that it would be most helpful if the gift could be controlled.

The way the voices are provided helps us understand how most people would think this person was crazy when indeed she was just gifted. Her ability to assist the NSA is the crux of the movie as well as her inner fight to deal with her gift.

The reason I'd like to see this concept turned into a series is that a lot could be done with the plot lines making very interesting and complicated story lines. Also, delving further into her relationships with people and how she would be able to control her gift to not invade their personal space.
