Red Pill, written, directed, produced, and starring Pinkins, follows a group of liberal activists as they move to a red state to infiltrate the lives of anti-racists and sway the 2020 election, only to find themselves facing horrors they never imagined.
The movie also stars Broadway alums Luba Mason, Kathryn Erbe, Catherine Curtin, Colby Minifie, Adesola Osakalumi, and Ruben Blades, along with Jake O'Flaherty.
