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.
