Since I Been Down Film Synopsis

Kimonti and a group of his peers are joining gangs as early as 11-years-old. Their community is profoundly impacted by our country's policies in the 1990s, which label kids super-predators. This leads to outcomes of poverty, dead-end prospects for thriving in school and in life, and spending life in prison.

February

As Black people, our stories are unique, remarkable and resilient. This year we want to highlight what we have accomplished, think about new ways to resist and persist and reflect on how our legacy can be kept alive to inspire our young people. We have decided to rename “Black History Month” as “Black OurStory Month”. We want to emphasize who we are from our perspective. We have to go beyond the history norm to honor all of our stories and celebrate in common unity “community “ with one another. We are our story, our experiences from our perspective.
