Summaries

"The Friends of the ABC" centres around the web-based meetings of the eponymous social justice group, lead by Agatha Enjolras. What originally brings the group to action is the murder of a local homeless man, committed by a police officer assumed to be Javert (a policeman known to many members of the group). This sparks a call to arms, and the group initiate plans for a peaceful protest. As the series progresses, we delve deeper into the relationships between the characters, as well as their relationship, or lack thereof, with social justice.—Shannon Gray

A youtube web-series modernization of Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables", The Friends of the ABC focuses on the plight of eponymous social justice group "Friends of the ABC", as they strive to achieve social justice in a modern America that seems rife with political and social tension.—Shannon Gray
