We are proud to screen this recently completed film by independent Black filmmaker Patrick Coleman.  In it, Passion, Olinda Fonseca, a young alcoholic mother tries to come to grips with her past in order to move forward with her life. Forced into therapy she struggles to control her volatile disposition and begins exploring the patterns of dysfunction that have plagued her from an early age. She discovers the connections between her unconquered demons and her co-dependant mother, her mentally ill father, and her drug addict boyfriend Butter.
