Title: Verdict
Genre: Short Film
Director: Stanlee Ohikhuare
Year: 2014
As expected, Stanlee doesn’t fail to fully portray his message with as less elements as possible. Here, Stanlee gives an absurdist treatment to the absurd explanation given by the US Army on the rape and death of La Vena Johnson. However, this Oscar befitting short film fails to take into due consideration the primary audience. With near perfect acting and directing, Stanlee might have just wasted resources on an issue that holds little or no importance to his immediate community. Unless if his immediate community is the Army of the United States of America. Aside that, this is a masterpiece.
