The Need

Synopsis

Frustrated by the inappropriate and lienient sentencing of serial offenders, this video-diary follows an embittered vigilante as he inadvertantly mounts an escalating campaign of murderous retribution. Feeding on public indifference, our increasingly volatile narrator taunts his apathetic audience as his desire for social justice is progressively overtaken by a stronger, more primitive 'need'!
