Split

Product Description Verboden Video Presents SPLIT - 30th Anniversary Special Edition of Chris Shaws's fiercely unique vision. Starker is the one man in a society of complacent people who can see the stifling control exerted on humankind by beings from another dimension. Living on garbage and in ever-changing disguise, he bounces from one person to another, trying to wake the world from its slavery. But as his ideas start to gain traction, he becomes the singular target of the Agency Director, a formidable dictator.
