Talent Has Hunger is an inspiring film about the power of music to consume, enhance, and propel lives.

 WHEN JUSTICE ISN'T JUST
A film by David Massey
40 minutes, documentary, color, English, 2015
Directed by Oscar-nominated and NAACP Image Award winner David Massey, this dynamic documentary explores why so many unarmed black people have been targeted and killed by police officers. The filmmakers talk to legal experts, activists and law enforcement officials who discuss the inequality within our criminal justice system and who confront the crucial question of how to prevent more violence in this country, including Black on Black deaths.
As the Black Lives Matter movement — and citizens nationwide — question the accountability of our justice system in cases of police violence, WHEN JUSTICE ISN’T JUST is an essential
addition to the ongoing discussion about reform and renewal.
“It was a pleasure participating in this thought-provoking documentary.” - Dr. Melina Abdullah, Black Lives Matter
“Thank you for continuing to beat the drum!” - Blair Underwood
