Bossip Giveaway: Win The “REPENTANCE” DVD

Posted on June 26, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Codeblack and Bossip are giving 2 lucky people the chance to win 2 DVD copies of the psychological thriller REPENTANCE – starring Forest Whitaker, Anthony Mackie, Mike Epps and Sanaa Lathan. Check out our interview with Sanaa Lathan . The DVD is now available in stores and online. Years after a drunken car crash that almost took his life, Tommy Carter (Anthony Mackie) has reinvented himself as a therapist/spiritual advisor who advocates a synthesis of world religions and positivity. He’s parlayed this vocation into a successful book release that one day draws the attention of Angel Sanchez (Forest Whitaker), a profoundly troubled man fixated on the “untimely” death of his mother. When Carter takes on Sanchez as a personal client in an effort to raise funds for his indebted brother Ben (Mike Epps), things quickly take a turn for the worse. Angel needs much more than a simple life coach. Check out the trailer: 2 lucky winners will win a copy of the DVD. Tweet to win!! I want to win a DVD copy of #REPENTANCE courtesy of @CodeblackLive & @Bossip
