SOCIAL SUICIDE U.S.A. Independent Cinema - Fiction

Social Suicide is an offbeat satirical comedy that takes a humorous look at the California debutante scene and the rituals surrounding “coming of age” in high society. Debutante Kim decides to take handsome Latino Tom Garcia tci the ball instead of her preppie, society-approved date Scott. Her snobby mother develops elaborate schemes to separate Kim and her new beau, creating chaos among the social sets at the elegant Deb ball. “Social Suicide takes some well-aimed stabs at American snobbery in high society, exposing the racism of a social class in a witty and always humorous way.” -Brian Robb, Stop Press
