A thought provoking modern interpretation of social issues based on the ideals of Dr Martin Luther King meet Mahatma Gandhi.
A young black man finds out that things haven't changed since 1968. He decides to make a change, by honoring the dream of Dr. King, and living the "no violence law" of Ghandi. Even though in 2018, they still profile African American young men, he believes by becoming a lawyer he can fight the power, that his ancestors before him did by using the law. His mother is played by Monica Calhoun, who will uplift you by quoting the bible and showing him that "old time religion" still works. Stand up Clap yo hands by saying, "Say it Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud" will show you the truth in the end.
This movie is riveting, jaw dropping and acting at its best! "Say it Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud" is one of those movies you don't see any more. From the mind of the writer, director, producer, Nolbert Brown Jr. he dunnit again! It takes you back to the past to see the reality of the future! Exciting acting, wonderful music while taking you back to church! "Two thumbs Up!" Says the Philadelphia Sun.The Car Stopping scene, its very scary but its true, when they put your face to the ground and tell you to lay there...... Yourblood turns from hot to cold as the fear takes over you're body....We all know the wrong move can cost you your life...... So lay there. You feel relief when you hear another police officer, you pray he's the same color as you! Maybe you'll live little longer in the hood. In the hood being a senior citizen is living over 21 years old. Imagine this: every time you leave the house, your momma tells you to get on your knees and pray. Going to the Stop n Go on the corner is like your going to Iraq. You don't know who is gonna get you, the gang bangers? The drug dealers? Or the Po Po. Its funny that you have to think about these things, but living with an all the time suntan could be reckless to your health. Every time I walk around the neighborhood I see candles, teddy bears for the brothers who have been killed. One day I think I will get outta here. Without the bangers hurting me, without the police hurting me.....Like Barack Obama he went from Kansas to Chicago to the White House. Its really true we can get out without being a statistic or a news story.....
