As traditional Kenyan villages give way to exploding city slums, community bonds dissolve and youth turn to the street. Followed over three years, four kids addicted to huffing glue create their own fierce family in this unflinching look at modern Kenya. Tough Bond is the story of Sinbad, Akai, Peter and Anto. The film is told through their eyes, the eyes of four street children neglected by their communities, living in the cracks of society, bursting with enormous strength to invent a new way to survive on Kenya's streets. Calling themselves "Survivors", the children have created a new tribe for themselves. A new identity rooted in their daily hustle, humor, and struggle bound by an addiction to huffing glue to cope with the growing difficulties of street life.

The self-portrait of a man torn between two languages and two cities.

Six young black men from Akron, Ohio, enter college, determined to redefine society's images and low expectations. Despite their confidence, the stark reality of being away from home brings a series of crises. Well trained in critical and metaphorical thinking, and unusually articulate about their inner lives, each of the protagonists guides us to his core. Since sixth grade, they have been part of an innovative mentoring program called 'Alchemy, Inc.' that uses mythological stories, drumming and writing. In the twice-yearly reunion workshops everyone speaks of his trials and his triumphs with authenticity, intelligence, honesty and heart. In turns quiet, thoughtful and exuberant, the six protagonists grow before our eyes, whether navigating racial provocations, or seeking support with new friends, estranged fathers and wise grandmothers.

Pretty Ricky did it again with their new hit single "Tipsy In Dis Club". Pretty Ricky reached out to the "Mayweather Live" show and invited us to come and do the behind the scenes for the video and the footage couldn't be any better. From the 100+ ladies, the foam, the endless Nuvo, and on point scenes this is one behind the scenes you have to watch.
