The Black Cinema Collective invites you to an online screening of the award winning film, (Seattle Black Film Festival for Best film 2020) RETCH and a post-discussion with director Tifa Tomb.
▷ ABOUT THE FILM
In an area like Seattle, the bus is many things to many people; it is transportation, it is a warm shelter for the homeless, an easy ride for the commuter. It is also a political statement for today’s liberal. And on a Monday morning, when the bus breaks down, it’s a living tomb where the passengers die one by one from a sudden retching sickness. Everyone is suspicious when no one is to blame. And if they want to survive every individual on the bus must figure out who’s next in line for death, and which person to sacrifice.
