The Secession
The Secession PBS Short Film Festival
Tyler and Andre are two 12-year-old Texas boys who get inspired one night by a drunken rant of Tyler's father against immigrants and Obama. Armed with only their bikes and their BB guns, they set out early the next morning to ride to the capitol and secede from the Union, but their plans soon get derailed when they run into their Chinese classmate Jenny.
