Summary:
Antigone, an excellent student and exemplary member of the community, breaks the law by helping her brother escape from prison. As the noose tightens around her, she stands up to the authorities: the police, the judiciary, the prison system, and the father of her friend, Haemon.
Antigone's staunch refusal to compromise and stifle her personal sense of justice is gaining the support of her peers, who are mobilizing on social media and in colorful demonstrations. Rejecting an offer that would secure her own future, Antigone chooses love and devotion to her family, an immigrant family.
An impressive metaphor of Sophocles' tragedy into modern reality.
