On September 27, the new film Kill the Messenger was screened for members of the Los Angeles community who experienced the crack epidemic firsthand in the 1980s. This film explores the effects that the crack epidemic had on African Americans during that time. It also talks about the governments role within this whole situation. After the film was screened, the attendees were interveiwed to get their initial reaction on the film as well as asked about their experiences during this time. Many of them said that this was a troubled time within the African American community and some even said that they are still feeling the after effects of the time period to this day. The main thing that these viewers had to say was that this movie was truthful and extremely successful in capturing the events of that time as well as them being proud that there is finally someone telling a story that many people do not know about. This is a story that they felt needed to be told. Watch the featurette below:
