The rich get rich. The poor stay poor.
As John Squires initially noted, a socially relevant thriller headed to SXSW this week, Joseph Martin’s Us and Them puts a target squarely on the chest of the wealthy. The film centers on a working class youngster who aims to kick start a revolution by turning the tables on the establishment with a deadly game of chance.
Jack Roth (son of Tim Roth) stars as “an ordinary working class kid who is tired of the rough deal he faces. His plan? To start a revolution by streaming attacks against the one percent on the web. His goal? To terrify the elite into bringing about chance. His plan spirals out of control when he holds a banker and his family hostage and forces them to gamble for their lives.”
