Cadence
Sometimes you've got to stand out to fit in.
Directed by Martin Sheen
Produced by The Movie Group, Republic Pictures
A prison drama about unlikely solidarity and standing against institutional tyranny, grounded in themes of racial prejudice and personal redemption.
As punishment for drunken, rebellious behavior, a young white soldier is thrown into a stockade populated entirely by black inmates. But instead of falling victim to racial hatred, the soldier joins forces with his fellow prisoners and rises up against the insanely tyrannical and bigoted prison warden.
