Trama e commenti: cinemagaylesbico.it - arcigaymilano.org - cinemagay.it: «Storia di un burrascoso rapporto tra Brooklyn, una butch bianca che fa la meccanica e rapina banche e Robin, una femme nera che fa l’assistente sociale e cerca di tenere la gente lontana da droga e prigione. Per aiutare la sua comunità in modo più efficace Robin lascia il suo frustrante lavoro per dedicarsi a "rubare ai ricchi per dare ai poveri" secondo i metodi della sua amante. Amore, rapine e filantropia in una storia proletaria di passione e pericolo crescente, un film romantico, sexy e avvincente a ritmo di hip-hop».

The film originally screened at festivals in 2003. In this modern-day version of the tale, Robin is a woman rather than a lad, and her 'hood is Oakland rather than Sherwood Forest. In another twist, her partner in philanthropy is a dyke on a bike who steals Robin's heart among other valuables. The evil king, according to the liner notes, “is the institutionalized racism and oppression that drives people into drugs and crime.” Robin (the script's co-writer, Khathee V. Turner) is a determined but disillusioned social worker whose ideals lead her to occasionally bend the rules. She covers for a client who fails to show up for a drug test, hoping to prevent the woman's son from being taken away from her by child protective services. When Robin gets caught flouting the system, she quits rather than accepting a demotion to paper pusher. Without her job she is still frustrated by urban despair and at a loss for a remedy to the injustice. As if on cue, a skinny thief/mechanic named Brooklyn (Clody Cates) swaggers into Robin's life...» (Shauna Swartz).
