The Gradient

By Steph del Rosso

Directed by Joya Scott

In this satire set in the not-so-distant future, a new facility promises to take men accused of sexual misconduct and rehabilitate them into responsible citizens. But inside the walls of The Gradient, the culture ruled by profit margins and corporate buzzwords muddles its high ideals. New employee Tess is eager to do her part, but finds herself locked in a subtle psychological battle with her latest client - one who has the perfect answer to her every question. "The Gradient" asks: can we mass-produce forgiveness?

Content transparency: "The Gradient" includes frank discussions of sexual acts and brief descriptions of sexual harassment and violence. Characters occasionally use harsh, violent, or misogynist language.
