An unexpected bond forms between two women when their sons are killed in an explosion at a local shopping mall. When the police find evidence of a bomb, one of the sons becomes the prime suspect, threatening the two mothers' new friendship and forcing them to question how well they knew their own children. TORN is a powerful dramatic dourney that invites each of us to confront our own perceptions of the world and one another. (Dada Films)

It's fairly clear that racism and prejudices are deeply rooted in America; in this regard, the film doesn't excel in any way. What's more interesting is the fact that currently, parents essentially know nothing about their children, even though the children are on the internet. These times are unreal. Anonymity basically doesn't exist, yet children are growing more distant from their parents. It's not a great film, but it manages to make a point.
