Native Invisibility

What happens when friends, united in a cause, succeed in bringing the country to a standstill and sending most of its population into exile?

What begins as an innocent footrace between friends ultimately leads to the death of two Chicago police officers and pushes a country into unimaginable chaos. Jamal, known as the Prophet, must free his imprisoned brother and rescue the Melanoid Nation from indefinite captivity before he runs out of time. While finding his Way and his Voice, Jamal amplifies the muted cries of the voiceless and unveils the issues rampant within the very community he hopes to save. Brimming with purpose and a plan, Jamal's journey reveals the undercurrent of two competing worlds in this masterfully woven urban saga.

A tale of family, loyalty, and friendship, Native Invisibility is an esoteric portrayal of one man's prophetic mission to free a nation and redeem a people.
