The Blot
Drama
Professor Griggs, teaching at the college, doesn't get paid a living wage; his next door neighbor, successful shoemaker Olsen, has money and plentiful food, while the Griggses have hardly any. When the professor's rich student Phil West falls for beautiful Griggs daughter Amelia and also befriends the poor Reverend Gates (a young man who is also in love with Amelia), he observes the difference in his life and theirs and tries to help make a difference.
VIBE
A quiet, somber drama exploring the quiet desperation of poverty and the sting of pride. It feels like a thoughtful, earnest look at societal divides and the internal struggles of those caught within them.
