The Masculinity Project: Kevin Epps (My Life, My Hustle)
Produced by Anthony Marshall
Filmmaker Kevin Epps gives us a look into his urban perspective, crystallizing what it means to live in a city where the black population has shrunken drastically from 25% to 6% over the last ten years. His passionate commentary highlights the struggle of living through constant flight and gentrification — symbolically, a few of his interviews place Kevin in front of a U-Haul truck, ready to continue the cycle. Is there such a phenomenon as black flight? What does it do to an urban community?
