On this very #MondayMemoire, we are reflecting on a very socially significant project that KZ PROMO INC participated as associate producer and sponsor.
In the entertainment industry, it is hard for independent artists to make it, mainly due to lack of resources—finance, quality equity, distribution, etc... As for us at KZ PROMO INC, we are dedicated to showcasing and helping creative people express their Amazing Talents by creating a suitable platform of development as well as sponsoring suitable projects.
Although the film was produced about two years ago, it remains relevant as it tackles some of the troubling issues that minorities, especially the African Diaspora, are facing in America.
Please check out the trailer on YouTube so that you can picture some of the realities of our communities in relationship to law enforcement.
Two Days In Harlem (Official Trailer)
Synopsis
"Two Days In Harlem" is a SAG narrative short film that examines the systemic relationship between the NYPD and the citizens of Harlem, NYC. The film takes an unvarnished look at the highly publicized and polarized stop and frisk policy as well as the role police have in the community. The story is told through the eyes of Jason Farmer a veteran NYPD Detective and Harlem native. Jason's unique view of the community in which he lives and works offers a keen insight into the life of officers who have a difficult and often thankless job. He encounters three young men Omar, James and Eric on separate occasions and his judgment of who each of these men may have cost someone their life. The film stars Yandy Smith, Jason Hurt, Gabrielle Ryan and a strong ensemble cast of characters.
