In a hand-picked case, an ambitious Assistant DA prosecutes woman on three counts of murder after her 47 year old husband dies of lung cancer from allegedly breathing her second-hand smoke for 30 years. Mourning his loss, their 24 year-old son testifies against his mother.
The jury struggles with what appears to be a ridiculous case, but as one juror delves deeper into the facts, they are drawn into an intriguing, emotional and complicated choice regarding addiction, loyalty & individual responsibility.
'The Pack' brings to the forefront the complexities and anguish surrounding this vital social issue and clearly depicts how times change and how any of us can get caught in the cultural shift of our nation. The question 'The Pack' catches us all with is: ?What if your behavior was legally accepted for dozens of years and all of a sudden it came into question??
Inspired by real life stories and documented cases director/writer Alyssa Rallo Bennett weaves together the jury’s cinema verite style deliberation, provocative courtroom testimony, flashbacks and the family’s intimate homestyle movies using both 35mm & digital cinematography.
