WORTHY OF SURVIVAL Short film

WORTHY OF SURVIVAL is a dual story of two people, Jordan Dunlap and Muley a runaway slave, fighting for freedom from their past.

Several years have passed since Jordan Dunlap, a black 28-year old combat veteran, returned home. Now homeless and tormented by her past service, Jordan Dunlap has a meltdown at work.

Jordan wakes up in a VA psych ward. When memories of her past begin to collide with the despair of her present, Jordan descends further into despair. A cracker-barrel therapist Dr. Carol Blake arrives at the right time. Dr. Blake thinks she can help Jordan, but first Jordan must go through a psychiatric evaluation due to criminal charges pressed against her by her employer.

At the psych ward Jordan meets a Vietnam vet named Chester Yu. Chester is lively and loves to tell colorful stories. He tells Jordan about a runaway slave named Muley who steals the identity of a free man. At first Jordan is annoyed by Chester, but soon takes solace and enjoy his stories of Muley.
