Why Hip-Hop Gets A Bad Rap

living homeless, landing in jail (for punching a security guard in Tokyo) and traveling like a creative hobo before the company finally floats itself ,earning him a potential $200 million.
The company of course is Facebook and the artist David Choe. It's a good story, and archetypal rags to riches tale, a modern day road to Damascus if you will, and more power to him.
Except, Choe-a one time Beverly Hills high school alumni, and son of real estate agent's, has been on the so called 'fringe' for over ten years, earning quite the resume and with his bad Barron Storey knock... (more)

PAFF Exploring the African Diaspora in Cinema
...a lot of tenacity, persistance and perseverence. I'm hoping that the group of teenagers in the screening came away with the same message and more.
