The Best focuses on a police officer who returns home from a racial injustice protest, claiming to have hit a deer with his car on the way back. As the narrative unfolds, his wife and fellow officer begin to question his account, leading to a tense and gripping exploration of what really happened that night. Will the truth be revealed? Bruce Karp's masterful storytelling and keen insight into the human condition promise an unforgettable cinematic experience.

This film will resonate deeply with audiences in both America and India, sparking meaningful conversations about justice, morality, and the human spirit. Witness a captivating story that transcends borders and speaks to the shared human experience. We look forward to sharing this important and timely film with you.
At the end of the 30-minute film, we will have a talkback session. We are very excited to have Bruce Karp, the playwright, join us during our talkback. Feel free to ask Bruce, or any of us questions, suggest topics for discussion, or give observations about the work.
