## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

Hood is a 2015 action film released in the United States on August 4, 2015, with a runtime of one hour and forty minutes. The film is a modern-day retelling of the Robin Hood legend. The story follows a character named RJ, played by actor Matt Singletary, who returns home to Chicago after completing an eight-year tour in the army. Upon his return, he discovers that the streets he once knew have become eerily similar to the war-torn deserts and villages of the Middle East. RJ is taken in and advised by his Uncle Richard, played by Harlem Globetrotter Curley Boo Johnson, who has cared for him since he was a little boy. His uncle explains the rules of the urban battleground, warning him that gangs, drugs, and money rule the streets, that he must never go out at night, and that he can trust no one.
