About Griot's Lament
A series of precipitous events force the ensemble cast into a fateful intersection with justice and violence. Griot and the community struggle against the errors of terror so many make when it seems all is lost.
Directed by Alex Munoz, Griot's Lament leans on a strong ensemble — Patrick Bristow, Mike Gray, Yelba Osorio — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2014.
