I never set out to make a film. It found me and in all honesty, had I known how daunting it would be I might not have done it. I’m so glad I had no idea because it’s one of the most meaningful things I’ve ever made. It’s the story of how a group of formerly enslaved men pooled their resources, founded a black-owned newspaper in the ashes of the Confederacy and fought for change. It’s an amazing story. I hope you can watch it and enjoy it.
