Echo Chamber - 189 - Part Three
AND, we bring this week's @EchoChamberFP home, with 'Part THREE'! Which is a look at the new indie flick that shines a light on redemption & inner peace. THEN, we speak to the talented, engaging & delightful lead, Eli Jane @theelijane
'The Way' is the new film from Khalili Dastan. 13 years ago, Jane Arcs (Eli Jane) was condemned to death after brutally killing her opponent in a underground street fight. Now, in just 24 hours, Jane will be executed for her crime. During her 13 years on Death Row, Jane has undergone a major evolution under the tutelage of a fellow inmate and Qi Gong Master Xin (Joan Wong), learning the way of Qi Gong and ostensibly gaining supernatural abilities. As the day of her execution arrives, Jane embraces her punishment in the spirit of transformation. Max Stone (Kelcey Watson), Jane's boyfriend as well as correctional officer and part of the execution tie down team, has very different ideas. He is willing to do anything to save Jane. Will he kill others to save her life? Or will Jane help him to see the light and to let her go?
