On the evening of July 7, 2016, protesters gathered in cities
across the nation after police shot two black men, Philando Castile
and Alton Sterling. As officers patrolled a march in Dallas, a
young man stepped out of an SUV wearing a bulletproof vest and
carrying a high-powered rifle. He killed five officers and wounded
eleven others. It fell to a small group of cops to corner the
shooter inside a community college, where a fierce gun battle was
followed by a stalemate. Crisis negotiator Larry Gordon, a 21-year
department veteran, spent hours bonding with the gunman - over
childhood ghosts and death and racial injustice in America - while
his colleagues devised an unprecedented plan to bring the night to
its dramatic end. Thompson's minute-by-minute account includes
intimate portrayals of the negotiator, a surgeon who operated on
the fallen officers, a mother of four shot down in the street, and
the SWAT officers tasked with stopping the gunman. Their stories go
to the heart of the deeply pressing issue of race and policing in
the USA, and reflect America's divide over how to view the men and
woman assigned to protect us.
Seeking answers amidst LA's occult underground, a hard-boiled
detective chases down a serial rapist intent on consuming the souls
of the innocent and becoming a god. The clock is winding down in
"As Above So Below..". In the theatre of my mind, these are
sweeping, fantastical adventures, mixing themes of dark magick with
beauty, violence and chaos.
