It takes uncommon valor to survive life on the streets of Harlem AND keep your personal integrity intact. After the death of his father, Ellison or L finds it impossible to get by, even with the help of his friends. Rejected because of his asthma by the military, unable to rent an apartment of his own, and reduced to living in a shelter—L accepts an offer to be gangsta Zee’s “personal assistant.” L now faces a genuine dilemma: which values can serve him best—his father’s or Zee’s? First-time director Toth makes a stunning debut with this unflinching and only slightly sentimental look at the "Other" America. And Carl Louis, a student at Fordham, also makes a stunning starring debut. In the plethora of films with similar plotlines, UNKNOWN SOLDIER stands out as genuinely original, provocative, and moving.~ Nick Salerno.
