Preschool to Prison(2023)

Preschool to Prison is a compelling examination of how the United States public school system is built and operated like prisons.

These personal accounts from people affected by the school-to-prison pipeline give riveting tales about the generational impact on society.

Afrocentricity(2000)

On the surface, this collection of shorts by up-and-coming African American filmmakers arrived at a perfect time. The cutting-edge products of the New Black Cinema of the early '90s had disappeared, giving way to embarrassingly stereotypical, scatological fare such as Booty Call and Next Friday. This feature-packed compilation (which includes production notes, interviews with all of the filmmakers, and audio commentary by four) attempts to prove that African American cinema is intent on moving past the lowbrow humor, as six of the seven shorts steer clear of any comedy.
