Former music star Richard Roosevelt’s world comes crashing down when his son, Brian, receives the opportunity to play music with his brother, a notorious performer, who led to Richard's career demise.
"Fool's Gold" is short-film about the cycle of family betrayal.
A short film that satirically captures the complexities of the black church and its impact on black youth.
To Get By tells the journey of Red, an ex-convict, who attempts to secure a job but can't because of her record. With a sick mother, a pending foreclosure, and supportive friends, Red must decide how to survive with her second chance.
Ota Benga was forced into enslavement throughout his lifetime. One family tried to make him a home here in his captive country. This is their story.
The streets and canals that lock the perimeters of the wards of inner and outer New Orleans carry the tales of the driven, the destitute, the artistic, the underrepresented and the perpetually heartbroken.
