A film for this historical moment, "BLACK BOYS" exposes the dehumanization of Black men and boys in America at the intersection of sports, education and criminal justice in a nation still struggling to rectify its past. The film is a rare glimpse into the emotional landscape of Black males, illuminating their full humanity, vulnerability and resilience.
