Mike’s note: I have seen the following moving, its built around a hypothetical situation, kind of what if Trump were to become the President.  There is suspense and drama, and direction and acting is superb, it is worth watching. 

EXTINCTION ( PRIVATE SCREENING)

Starring Academy Award Nominee & Golden Globe Winner, Sally Kirkland and Mathew St. Patrick [SIX FEET UNDER, SONS OF ANARCHY], this film is inspired by the current political climate.

extinctionThis action drama illustrates what happens, when we let fear and hate-mongering guide us. While a tale of what could be, “EXTINCTION” is only a breath away from reality. Set in a world where “hate trumps love” takes over, inciting a new world Holocaust where every Muslim is hunted down and killed …except one.


The Story: 
A struggling single mother, Joan, is forced to choose between morality and law when she finds out that a gentle farmhand, Adam, is more than what he seems while protecting her six year old daughter, Mary, and her ailing grandmother, Rose.
