Scripted by film critic Nick Pinkerton, THE SWEET EAST follows Lillian, a high school senior from South Carolina, who gets her first glimpse of the wider world on a class trip to Washington, D.C. Separated from her schoolmates, she embarks on a fractured road trip in search of America.” THE SWEET EAST is a flare shot across the sky of America. America made this film.” (Sean Price Williams) (kw)
