Fresh kill

1994 USA Feature color 80min English DVD
From the beaches of Taiwan's Orchid Island, used as a nuclear waste site in the 1980s, to the shores of New York's Staten Island, part eco-horror, part camp comedy, Fresh Kill revolves around the detritus of an urban consumer society whilst exploring connections among characters on the edges of corporate capitalism and off-centre in a white, bourgeois, heterosexual world. Set in and around a Staten Island garbage dump, young lesbian parents (Sarita CHOUDURY and Erin MCMURTY) and their five-year-old daughter (Nelini STAMP) get caught in a struggle against an evil global coorporation responsible for contaminating sushi with industrial waste.
