Honky
by Greg Kalleres
Synopsis
When a young African American is shot for a pair of basketball shoes, sales triple among white teens.
Are ghetto-glorifying commercials to blame, or is it the white CEO that only sees dollar signs?
Luckily, there’s a new pill on the market guaranteed to cure racism.
HONKY is a darkly comedic look at five people, white and black, as they navigate the murky waters of race, rhetoric and basketball shoes.
Press Reviews
