I'm a little behind the boat on this movie...but now that I've finally seen it, all I can say is "Yep." It's an outstanding movie, but is nothing new to me. In each of the boys followed in the movie, I saw one of my boys. Boys of Baraka is the story of several inner-city boys chosen from Baltimore to go to school in Kenya, the transformation that takes place while they're there, and the struggles of coming home to the projects.
Here's a video clip of the first 5-6 minutes of the movie...a nice teaser for you!

In California!!!
Well, Kat and I finally made it to California 12 hours after our scheduled arrival time -- but the important thing is that we are here. We are attending the Urban Youth Workers' Institute 2007 Conference. Today was our first workshop and general session, and both proved exciting and challenging. I have a lot that I want to post, but I'm about to fall over right now -- it's almost 2am Greensboro time!
Oh, as a super-exciting side note, it looks like Kat and I are going to go see The Hip Hop Project in LA on Saturday night -- it's only been released in a few cities, and we just happen to be in LA at the same time -- WooHoo! Take a look at the site. I hope the movie proves to be as wonderful as it looks!!
