Marking 400 years since enslaved Africans arrived in Jamestown, "Black Boys" illuminates the full spectrum of Black male humanity in America through an intimate, intergenerational conversation at the intersection of sports, education and criminal justice.

“It's an insightful documentary, and one that calls for more awareness about how racism persists in America, and why it's important for everyone to be part of the conversation.” _ Common Sense Media
