aghast
Directors/Writers: Rob Underhill and Maxine Eloi
Producer: Rob Underhill
Narrative, 7 min.
Based on true events, Eve Scott stands her ground, protecting property, liberty, and the life of herself and her child as an outside threat works to force entry into her home. Aghast is based on the true story of 23-year-old Korryn Gaines. A several hour standoff between police and Korryn and her 5-year-old son turned deadly when police used a SWAT team to force entry into Korryn’s home, arguably instead of exhausting all means available to de-escalate the situation.
