ABOUT

Network television has new competition as adventure franchise "Class Action" raises the character education stakes to the limit and enters the educational entertainment market directly on DVD.

Drawing a new line above nationalism, racism, and sexism, “Class Action” is set in a self-imagist neighborhood of Oakland, California. “Class Action” chronicals on the adventures of five high school students, disfranchised by self-imagism, who secretly use every means at their disposal to sabotage the hood’s prevailing definition of pride.

They communicate regularly with high-minded self-actualized individualists, and move easily between hood and community because of their command of both a formal reasoning method and a cogent definition of “self-image (that’s identity and self-esteem)!” Despite being physically inprisoned by politics and poverty, they are emotionally and intellectually free.

While other gangs are naive, foolish, or unskilled, this crew understands that intelligence has a range. With that understanding they exploit complex fallacies and engage in dangerous activities as they work to achieve their goal. This risky business includes exposing inconsistent leaders and policies, teaching confused individuals cogency and the self-image compound, and assisting civic and religious entities that are proven to be world peace-directed. That means redirecting organizational memberships and fanbases, disabling marketers, and converting major entertainment acts to their cause.

"Class Action” may not be dismissed as being in poor taste because of its attack on prevailing social attitudes. Its foundation rests in the context of popular culture and the adventures are inspired by current events.

The "whipping-boys-gone-wild" on this block are gangsta topp-dogg wannabe IQ 123 Ditto-Echo, and her philosophic neophyte second IQ 94 Yo-Yo, who struggle to keep Nameless and his friends in check to avoid being dissed by the local doggfathers or coming under public scrutiny at the next hip-hop battle.

“Class Action” is also designed to have recurring characters join the regular ensemble cast.

"Class Action" is an Abject Street Media production distributed by WCEE.net and is the third of three spin-offs, along with "At Wit's End" and "Bait & Switch!", from Geoff Gray-Lee's acclaimed college senior project "The Subject of a Moment" (1985). Geoff Gray-Lee is creator and auteur.
