Black Voices Breakthrough Theater, part of our Screening Room experience, is a ten part series where our panel of curators present new, short films and web series created by emerging talent --both on screen and behind the camera.
This week's entry, "Burned" is set around a female veteran, played by Bianca LaVerne Jones, struggling with alcoholism and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Noted Hollywood actor Eric Roberts also makes a key appearance in the film.
