Evolution of a Criminal

1h 23m
Directed by Darius Clark Monroe • 2014 • United States
Starring Dante E. Clark, Rosalyn Coleman, Ellie Foumbi
When he was sixteen years old, filmmaker Darius Clark Monroe, along with a group of high school friends, donned a skeleton mask, walked into a Texas Bank of America, and robbed it at gunpoint, making off with over $100,000, before later being caught and serving three years in prison. In this stunningly personal documentary, Monroe reflects on the circumstances that led him to that fateful day, interweaving evocatively dreamy reenactments with emotionally charged interviews—with everyone from his family members and friends to the victims at the bank—in a quest to come to terms with and atone for his past.
