In episode 5 of RTB4 stories begin to converge.
Hector, the Santeria priest, responds with violence at an attempt at a discussion, and filmmaker Mike Pulcinella discovers even further the power of the camera as an instrument of defense.
Meanwhile, health issues begin to take a grave toll on Mike’s lifelong friend Joe Durney, from whom Mike had sought counsel during the rogue priest debacle, all while Mike continues to film a frustrated and increasingly withdrawn Kai Greene.
We also return to Hayley’s story: Mike intends to chronicle her first attempt at the Team Universe, but arriving at her hotel he is aghast to find that she is alone and mysteriously ill…with the Team Universe contest just moments away.
These and many other narratives weave together as we see the stresses of filmmaking and life intertwine, learning that sometimes in order to capture the story, you must become a part of it…
