The Masculinity Project: Remix: The Pact 10mins

Produced by Andrea Kalin (Spark Media). Remix produced & edited by Sabrina Gordon.

A gritty, provocative true-life story of three friends from the the city of Newark, New Jersey, Rameck Hunt, Sampson Davis, and George Jenkins, who made a pact in high school to find a way to go to college and then medical school. They not only accomplished this, but they're now spreading the word to inspire other inner-city kids to stay off of drugs, out of gangs and to take the educational route to a better life. What other stories of inspiring people can you share, maybe even in your own neighborhood?

* Remix: The Pact is a co-production of Spark Media, The National Black Programming Consortium and Independent Television Service, Inc. and is based on the documentary film, "The Pact."

Buy "The Pact" full-length DVD.
