Synopsis: Letter to the President (2004)
Synopis: Thomas Gibson's insightful, prescient documentary frames current political and social issues in a dynamic way, targeting an audience mostly neglected by current discussions: Black youth. A hip hop FAHRENHEIT 9/11, LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT traces our current repressive government to Ronald Reagan's time in office, when rap music shifted into more political realms as it began to be a hot topic on the Senate floor. Gibson also provides startling links between the government and the sale of crack cocaine in the ghetto; ultimately, the film examines the myriad ways the current administration functions as a repressive agent of control within the Black community. Gibson incorporates interviews with average people as well as countless celebrities, including 50 Cent, KRS-1, Mystic, Amiri Baraka, Ghostface Killah. Narrated by Snoop Doggy Dog, the film also features appearances by Democratic presidential nominee Dennis Kucinich, social commentator Michael Eric Dyson, Larry Flynt, and Damon Dash.Compare New Prices: Letter to the President
