Doomstown

 

About the Show

From the award-winning producers at Sarrazin Couture Entertainment, Doomstown is a poignant, eye-opening and ultimately inspirational account of how one young man finds the courage to break not only a cycle of violence, but also the code of silence around it. Starring Chris "K.C." Collins (Close to Home, Kojak) and Mark Taylor (Instant Star, Cinderella Man). Doomstown is backed by a soundtrack featuring some of Canada's hottest hip-hop artists, including Saukrates, Marvel and J-Staxxx.

Set in a community housing project nicknamed Doomstown, young black men live and die in a world of drugs and guns; where selling drugs makes you more money than you could ever imagine and carrying a gun makes you feel invincible. It's a world that offers a feeling of belonging when your life seems otherwise hopeless. It's a world that has always respected the "code of silence." You don't rat. You don't snitch. Here in Doomstown, silence can be a killer.

In Doomstown, Jeddi (Collins) and Twist (Taylor) are best friends who earn a living selling drugs. While Jeddi has embraced the lifestyle, Twist has decided its time to get out and live a legit life. Then, when an all-too predictable confrontation turns suddenly tragic, it's up to one of them to right a horrible wrong. Will he seek revenge with a gun? Or will he defy the familiar culture of guns and drugs and break the "code of silence?"
