Description

A modern-day take on RASHOMON, THE LOST examines the meaning of perspective in a culture where truth is often obscured by sensation and communication by outrage. The film explores the complexities of citizen-law enforcement relations, the role of technology in informing social concerns, and the immigrant experience in America.
