Zooman


Saturday, 12 June, 2:25AM A modern fable about urban violence, courage, and redemption, this compelling story begins with the death of young Jackie Tate, killed by a stray bullet during an exchange between rival gang members in Brooklyn. And nobody in the neighborhood is willing to identify Zooman, the young, tough hoodlum who fired the fatal shot. The tragedy of Jackie's death throws her family into shock. In dealing with their grief, her father, Reuben Tate and mother, Rachel, are forced to examine the tensions that lead to the disintegration of the family. Also deeply affected are the Tate's teenage son Victor, Reuben's hotheaded cousin Emmet, and his stubborn cousin Ash, each of whom reacts differently to the loss. But the family is not alone in suffering the consequences of the killing. Neighbors, even as they mouth the standard condolences, feel antagonized by the sign an infuriated Reuben posts on the front porch: 'The killer of our Jackie is free on the streets because our neighbors will not identify him.' The conflict eventually attracts media attention as Reuben, a one-time prizefighter and now a city bus driver, deplores the senseless violence, as well as the spinelessness of eyewitnesses to his daughter's death. Not even the killer is free from the incident's repercussions. Zooman has been forced underground by the publicity. The crime ultimately proves cathartic for all the characters involved as Zooman returns, broken and homeless, to face the family behind the sign.
