Based on a true story, AN ACT OF TERROR explores the ongoing oppression of the African American community at the hands of the criminal justice system. In the Jim Crow South, Virginia Christian, a 16-year-old African American maid, dreams of a better life for herself. Those dreams are shattered when she is attacked by her white employer setting off a series of tragic events that end in Virginia being tried for murder.
This short was seen in a group of dramatic shorts. It is extremely graphic. The main character was 16 years of age but the actor portraying her is in her late 20's. Ending was gratuitous.
