I recently got a chance to chat about the violence epidemic in Chicago and my latest documentary, “The H.O.O.D: Heroes On Our Doorstep”.
“Everyday people save other everyday people and we all have an influence and power over someone else’s life.”
Read the full interview here and I would like to thank the folks at Just D.U.M.B Productions for this opportunity.
Join Smoke Brown (aka Dave from Throw’d TV) on a wonderful “Grown Man” adventure directed by Ashley Patrick.
From the outside looking in, other cities must think Chicago is turning into a barbaric place. As of late, we have gained national attention from the news as they highlight every murder. Is it really that bad or are we over sensationalized? Both. The H.O.O.D: Heroes On Our Doorstep was filmed before the brutal murder of Derrion Albert. Led by the power of Chicago Activist, Mama Brenda Matthews, The H.O.O.D, not only tells the story of the teenagers who have witnessed and suffered from the rising murder rate in Chicago, but it was also created to reach out and offer a solution to this devastating epidemic.
There were 510 murders in Chicago during 2008, 80% of the victims were killed by gunfire, and half were between the ages of 10 and 25. The bottom line is our children aren’t growing old anymore; they are dying before their time and at alarming rates.
“Somebody better say something, somebody better do something, somebody better feel something…before…it….is…too…late” ~Mama Brenda Matthews
Here’s the official trailer for The H.O.O.D directed by Ashley Patrick, produced by Ms. Reign Star, and executive produced by Mama Brenda Matthews and Marillac House.
