You hear people talk about all the time what parents donont do, that their kids get in troublee because they didnt have this. You he a beautiful home, loving husbanand, believing in the importance of educatio discipline, did everything right. Yes. S. The perception of our black men is that theyre all in gangs and sell drugs. Thats the perception we have to get away from. A lot of them are good kids that are being killed.

What drew me is i remember getting the script from spike. The first thing he said to both of us is, we have to save lives. Thats what this is about. Imeout. Save lives . Yes, absolutely. Thats a high bar. How does this movie save lives . When you look at these communities, its drs, womemen, and guns. Those are the pillars. And in order to break that system you have to come in and knock one of those plars down. Its a powerful thing to see a powerful black woman. It onlyakes one person to start a movement. Is is my version of a superhero. Outstanding. Saving lives. Thats our job. Reporter the premise of chiraq may seem outlandidish, the characters more like cairk ra tours of black america.
