Women, money and travel. It's still the hook that military recruiters are using
on young men, as two students discover at a Queens recruitment office. A look at
the military recruitment process through a mixture of performance and the experiences
of two young men of color.
"Al Santana exists at the perfect intersection of technical mastery, aesthetic
ingenuity and political involvement. Each element can be found in a lot of good
filmmaking, but all three together are a rarity."
