"Fresh, New, Stylish"
-Ronna B. Wallace,
Executive Producer, Quentin Tarantino's, "Reservoir Dogs"
"The Minority is an ambitious and courageous social commentary that questions the current state of race relations in the early 21st century. Passionately produced with strong camera work and a real new york film, this film dares to ask the question that many are afraid to answer."
-Ben Lyons, 'The Daily Ten' on E!
Comedy is hard, as they say, but satire is even harder. Controversial auteur Buckle takes aim at the perils of assimilation in this blunt-edged blend of Candide and TAXI DRIVER. Clueless buppie Jake Jackson (a heroic performance by Billoah Greene) just wants to fit in. He acts white, talks white, and thinks white--until one day his white workmates accuse him of theft, and he discovers he’s not like them after all. - Gene Siskel Film Center, Black Harvest International Film Festival
Writer-director Dwayne Buckle helms this satirical look at racism through the eyes of Jake Jackson (Billoah Greene), a happy-go-lucky African-American who suddenly finds his eyes opened to the prejudice directed toward him.
-CD Universe
At the dawn of the 21st century, is it safe to say race relations are improved? Jake Jackson (Billoah Greene) finds the climate cloudy when he is assaulted with prejudice while simply trying to live a responsible life. The suffocating bigotry weighs so heavily on his heart he fears he might be losing his mind, until an encounter with a mass murderer changes everything. Sharp action comedy co-stars Carson Grant, Ava Mateova Turner Classic Movies
"The Minority is a unique film pushing the limits of storytelling with fascinating new characters and breathtaking cinematography. The film was able to capture a rare glimpse of a unique circumstance in a modern city.Shot on location in New York City, this film captures the gritty, unforgivable, metropolis in a crisp 16mm format,while delivering a thought provoking story that will leave you at the side of your seat." -Witness
