Independent filmmaker and activist Stacey Muhammad tackles some serious issues plaguing black community, and black men in particular, in her feature-length documentary and web series For Colored Boys: The Evidence of Things Not Seen.
In following the true life experiences of four black men from different walks of life, For Colored Boys explores what’s perceived by many to be the criminalization, demonization, and targeting of black men in America.
As Stacey puts it, the project “looks at the ways in which the lives of black men have been affected in eight areas: the effects of racism, integration, trauma, post traumatic slavery syndrome, homicide, suicide and depression, [and] the Assassination of the Black Male Image through Media and the unprecedented number of black men targeted by the Prison Industrial Complex.”
