Plot

Four young artists embark upon a cross-country journey that will culminate with a mural to be painted upon the White House in this highly allegorical drama. The group leader Tudee is a shrewd, but not always honest Chicano. Temperamental, sociopathic ex-con Abel is also Chicano. Kaz is an African American Buddhist vegetarian and Native American Freddy is an alcoholic. Tensions abound amongst the travelers and when they encounter a white supremacist group, they explode. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
