The Last Revolutionary

Written as a play in 2010, The Last Revolutionary as a contemporary movie is as relevant today, as it was on stage. In this 76-minute long, intense, dramatic, sometimes humorous, always passionate, tour de force, the stars of both the play and the film - John Marshall Jones and Levy Lee Simon - hash out their political ideas, ideologies and differences, as two ex-revolutionary buddies, Jack Armstrong and Mac Perkins. Mac Perkins (Simon) is in his Los Angeles throwback hideout, plotting to stop anti-Obama sentiment from the far right and racist groups around the country. In the neighborhood where Mac Perkins is holed up, his only friend is an older woman named Millie, (Marla Gibbs). When Mac's old buddy, Jack Armstrong (Jones) whom he has not seen in over 10 years, tracks him down and pays him a visit, he challenges Mac's political stance and his notion that there is a need for a, so called, revolution. Reminiscing about old times, and about their lives, which have taken much different paths since their revolutionary days, Jack attempts to make Mac see that his methods are archaic and his plans old fashioned. Walking a fine line between delusional and visionary. The Last Revolutionary exposes secrets, both personal and political, during Mac and Jack's dramatic interchange, that lead to a life-and-death confrontation.
