In Ryan Kruger’s sequel to the 1987 film STREET TRASH, written by Roy Frumkes and Jim Muro, the year is 2050, Cape Town South Africa, now a dystopian world, ravaged by economic collapse and a vanished middle class. It’s a stark contrast of extreme wealth and desperate poverty. Ronald, a member of a displaced, houseless community, uncovers a chilling government conspiracy. The plan, codenamed "V," involves using an evil chemical agent to eradicate the city's houseless population. Facing overwhelming odds, Ronald and his friends must risk everything to expose this horrifying plot and confront a society that seeks to erase them. Their fight becomes a symbol of resistance against the oppressive forces of government and the ultra-rich.
