Gregory G. Allen's Reel

REPARATIONS is about a Jewish Holocaust Survivor named Howard who agrees to be interviewed by Michonne, an African-American lesbian doing research for her grad thesis on reparations. Howard relishes his time talking to the younger woman as she questions him about surviving in a concentration camp. However, he cannot grasp any similarity between reparations for descendants of slaves versus those he's received from Germany as a Holocaust survivor. The more they talk, the more his past is revealed.

After a gay purge, four best friends are surviving by living in fake marriages to each other.

In one night, emotions run high, friendships begin to unravel and everything changes in an instant.
