Murder Without Motive
1992, 91 minutes, Rated M
"A shocking story of hope, love and murder."
On a hot June night, an undercover New York City policeman is confronted by two black teenagers. A struggle ensues, shots are fired...and one of the youngsters lays dying in the streets of Harlem. So begins the shocking, disquieting story "Murder Without Motive."
The tragedy turned to mystery when it was discovered that the dead youth was not just another punk, but Edmund Perry, a gifted student who had just graduated from the most prestigious prep school in the nation. Was he a victim of a racist police department or had his brilliant promise become a blinding rage?
"Murder Without Motive" is a portrait of cultural differences and a detailed account of a teenager who tried to keep a foot in two separate worlds. Based on the best-selling book by Robert Sam Anson, it looks behind the closed doors of fancy homes and fine schools and crosses the mean streets of Harlem.
