Editorial Reviews

Product Description
In the spirit of Crash, Forbidden Fruits explores the cultural differences and nuances between different minority groups. Forbidden Fruits is a story about the colliding of three different worlds – African Americans, Chaldean Americans and Arabic Americans. Shawn, a college student from Cleveland, falls in love with a Chaldean girl named Crystal that attends his university in Detroit. Shawn’s Cousin Mark, a local street thug, warns him to leave "those kinds of girls" alone because their families will never permit it to flourish. Forbidden Fruits is a modern day Romeo and Juliet story in which Shawn refuses to abandon his love and instead chooses to hide his romance from those closest to him.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mr Mingo's review is way off, August 9, 2007

By	Rochanne Johnson "reshec" - See all my reviews

I think this is an excellent movie. I love to see movies were racism is addressed. I think this movie is well worth the buy. And for Mr Mingo that says "Crash" was unworthy of an Oscar. I'm sorry to say that he must live in a fantasy world or you must not be a man of color because racism is not subtle. I am a black woman who has also traveled to other countries and I must say that I experienced racism overseas but not like I experience it here just about everyday. I would say overall they did a good job w/ this movie

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Purchase, June 18, 2009

By	Devine Brown (Detroit, MI United States) - See all my reviews

This movie is a much purchase. This movie talks about issues that are tabu in our communities among blacks and Arabs such as interacial relationships. The movie should be watched in our homes in order to bring dialog to the things that are never thought of or mentioned, but does occur and is often wondered.
