UNCODE-Extended Trailer

[AVXL]

Extended trailer of a new documentary that one of my really good friends and his wife are putting together

"UNCODE; a digital documentary series highlighting the presence, global influence, and varied interests of the African Diaspora.

This summer, we are scheduled to launch our first collection of stories covering a broad range of topics including (but not limited to) Arts, Health, Lifestyle, Finance, Travel, and Education. Each story is told via short film, documentary, animation, or spoken word essay. In an effort to provide a more comprehensive image of Afro-defendants, we are working to create digital visual content that redefines what it means to be Black."

Now available for streaming on Amazon Prime

We need documentaries like this where WE control the message and we can show our sons and daughters that they are more than what they hear on the radio or see on TV
