Blood Kin

Blood Kin

21st TDF: Greek Premiere

In 2009, Red Oak’s community in Texas is in a state of shock due to a patricide incident. Austin Eversole, age 15 at the time, who had suffered a long period of psychological and sexual abuse in his father’s hands, is sentenced to an outrageous 40-year incarceration. Famous director Ramin Bahrani interviews the perpetrator, as well as other members of the family, avoiding easy criticism and wishful thinking. On the contrary, he contemplates in a discrete and low-key tone, allowing all the pain and suffering to slip out of quivering lips and faces.
