As the face of law enforcement in the United States for almost 50 years, J. Edgar Hoover was feared and admired, reviled and revered. But behind closed doors, he held secrets that would have destroyed his image, his career, and his life.
Rachael lives an isolated existence, haunted by an unspeakable past. But when a young boy upends her tightly controlled world, she’s forced to face her own demons. Hovering between her sparse apartment and a job at a local coffee shop, Rachael lives a sheltered life. She keeps her head down and people at a distance. She pops pills for a shoulder injury, loud noises unsettle her, and she’s haunted by flashbacks – of a child, a lover, and a fluorescent ceiling light. Until she meets 10-year-old Jack. He’s confident and sweet and orbits her in the hope of a new friendship. As the days pass, Rachael becomes increasingly torn between her past and her present. AMEND is a short film exploring PTSD and grief and ultimately asks the question of whether connection is the only way through.
