Hence, Threat demonstrates what we've been taught and where believing that will get us. The making of Threat and the King's Mob proves that what we've been taught is untrue and that we can transcend our differences.
Threat is one of the slickest independent films ever made.
It looks like a cross between a video game and a comic book, the two most colorful, violent media that have arguably the strongest effect on youth. Making Threat look like this was made possible not by high budgets and deep pockets, but by resourceful, hardworking kids who believed in it and had the guts and endurance to see it through. Rooted in the hip hop and hardcore punk scenes, Threat traces the lives of six lead characters whose interaction ends in a full-scale riot on the streets of Manhattan. It aspires to the visual impact of a Hollywood event movie but was totally self-financed by its makers. The King's Mob is run somewhere between a collective and a corporation.
