Something Is Killing Tate

Leon Lozano writes and directs this sobering but ultimately hopeful look at the black experience in America. The indie drama follows an African-American man named Tate (Jocko Sims) who, on the eve of his birthday, decides to commit suicide. When the attempt fails, he is visited by a number of figures from his past, forcing him to confront the traumatic childhood memories that have shaped his life.
