"Raising Bertie" is a documentary coming in 2016. http://raisingbertie.com/
Looking forward to it.
A FEATURE LENGTH DOCUMENTARY ON YOUTH IN RURAL AMERICA
COMING 2016
RAISING BERTIE is the coming-of-age tale of three young black men in rural Bertie County, North Carolina.
Filmed over six years, this powerful and starkly poetic verité film weaves these young men’s stories together as they navigate unemployment, grief, violence, first love, fatherhood and estrangement from family members and mentors, all while trying to define their identities as adults.
The evocative result is an experience that encourages us to recognize the value in lives and communities all too often ignored by the mainstream."
