The filmSynopsis
A university teacher must confront intruders in her home who are intent on her destruction. Revenge in plain sight. Broken is a short from writer and director Peter Koevari, born from the culture wars he has seen online and in person, and a statement on how far things can go.
In his wordsDirector's statement
Broken was born from the many experiences and exposures I have had online and in person with culture wars, and how it had affected everyone involved. I thought about how I could write and direct a piece that talks to this, and makes a statement on how far things can go.
