| Straight Outta Hunters Point |
Dir. Kevin Epps US 2001
Local filmmaker Kevin Epps gives us a portrait of what he knows best,
the neighborhood where he grew up and still lives, Hunters Point. A
complex depiction, Straight Outta covers the turf wars between rival
gangs, the vital underground hip-hop scene, the history of how the
neighborhood was transformed into a toxic dumping ground, and the
everyday life of the community living there. It's a raw,
street-level look at life in the projects as seen by an insider.
The result is a dramatic portrait of a community in crisis, but
one that has persevered. It doesn't get any more real than
this. (video, 75m)
Filmmaker Kevin Epps will be in person at evening screenings for Q&A.
