Sobre IBD

Inspired by a true character born in 1892 to the son of former slaves, Norvell Jamison grows up in the violent and racially impoverished south under the harsh Jim Crow laws after witnessing a young boy get brutally beaten to death by the Klan. Norvell is traumatized for life. Norvell grows up to be a quick tempered 6-foot 7 inch, 350lbs ultra-violent world wind of destruction whose blood thirsty path leads him to fighting in WWI. Upon leaving the army and after the war, he travels the world seeking adventure. This path would take him to the Belgian Congo, to an encounter with the natives of the land that would transform his life forever by taking Norvell on a bloody path of destruction.
