(BlackNews.com) - Toward the end of his life, tennis legend and activist Arthur Ashe sat down and wrote a letter to his young daughter to be read and re-read for inspiration and comforted as she got older and he wasn’t around. The letter was, and is, a timeless “literary broadcast” of life lessons and love for a soon to be fatherless child. The genesis of the documentary For Our Sons is in that same vein. It is a “cinematic broadcast” of life lessons and love for the many fatherless black boys in the US who are in danger of becoming a statistic.
The innovative 86-minute film consists of 19 powerful and important interviews with 19 powerful and “important” Black men from different walks of life, men who have “been through the fire” of growing up Black and male in the oftentimes hostile environment of the inner city but through strength and perseverance built for themselves their own versions of the American dream. The documentary, For Our Sons is now available, at www.foroursons.com (at no charge to you) .
