ABOUT THE PROJECT
#SOCIETY follows two celestial guardians who must protect the fate of humanity before it self-destructs. Their mission: stop two humans—a black staff sergeant and a white police officer—from killing each other on a NYC subway train. To do so, they travel back to the 1800s post-Emancipation Proclamation to confront the ancestral pasts of those involved and rewrite history to create a more peaceful present.
This is a gripping tale of redemption, racial dynamics, and historical reflection, blending drama with supernatural elements.
