Summary
Bedrock Faith
After 14 years in prison, Gerald 'Stew Pot' Reeves, returns home to live with his mum in Parkland, a black neighbourhood on Chicago's South Side. A frightening delinquent before being put away, his return sends Parkland residents into a religiously-infused tailspin, which only increases when Stew Pot announces that he experienced a religious awakening in prison. With uncompromising fervour, Stew Pot appoints himself the moral judge of Parkland. Through unforgettable characters, Bedrock Faith provides a reflection on God, the living and dead and finding unconditional love.
