Neighborhood Alert

Inspired by a true story, NEIGHBORHOOD ALERT tells the story of a Black mother who is forced to take extraordinary action to ensure the safety of her teenage son.

<p>Against the backdrop of a world on the brink, the Montford Point Marines transcended enemy lines and formidable barriers of racial segregation. Beginning in rural Virginia, their journey to the frontlines of World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War is more than a testament to their bravery – it’s a reflection of their indomitable spirit and unyielding resolve. Confronting racial prejudices, the heartbreaks of war, and the turbulent transition to civilian life, these men never wavered in their commitment. "Triumph Over Prejudice" dives deep into the uncharted terrains of the Black experience in the early 20th century Marine Corps, illuminating stories often shadowed in history's corners. With cinematic finesse fit for a global streaming audience, the film weaves personal narratives into a rich tapestry, culminating in an epic saga of heroism, perseverance, and the enduring legacy of the American veteran.</p>
