GUM
March 2014
University of Maryland Baltimore County by Karen Hartman In a futuristic dystopia where girls may not venture outside their garden walls, two sisters seek escape in music and poetry- and black-market chewing gum. When the older sister rebels against an arranged marriage, her family takes steps to curtail her freedom forever. With mounting terror, “Gum” depicts the consequences of sexual awakening in a fiercely repressive culture where Juicy Fruit is contraband and every desire has its price. |
