The Gigi Iam Show
Presents
A War For Your Soul by Reggie Bullock, Erisai Films.
This video was created to inspire young at-risk African-Americans not to fall prey to some of the problems they face in society.
This video should not to be used to divide people (Black & White). This video should not be used to criticize all aspects of hip-hop culture. This video should not be used to degrade the millions of children that do not have the proper educational resources offered in their community. This video should not be used to scare Black youth into a position of change. This video should not be used to allow the rest of society to escape from their responsibility, to reach back and help with financial & academic support.
If used properly, this video will allow our youth to see some of the horrific conditions that our ancestors fought through & some of the horrific conditions we face today.
All Americans should be upset at the alarming homicide rate in many cities. Many have asked "Why should I care?"...but can you imagine, the first person to find a cure for cancer, could be living in one of these areas, that we are afraid to reach out and help. The use of the voice "Master of Darkness" represents the abstract concept of evil.
**THIS VIDEO IS NOT FOR SALE & I AM NOT ACCEPTING DONATIONS FOR THE FILM, I ONLY WANT THE MESSAGE TO REACH AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT ANY HIDDEN POLITICAL OR FINANCIAL AGENDA.
