520    BLACK BOYS illuminates the full humanity of Black men and 
       boys in America. An intimate, inter-generational 
       exploration, Black Boys strives for insight to black 
       identity and opportunity at the nexus of sports, education,
       and criminal justice. Speaking with an array of figures - 
       ranging from educators, athletes, journalists, activists, 
       parents, and youth - the documentary explores the body, 
       mind, voice, and heart of Black boys and the double edged 
       sword of having to build up their own self worth while 
       knowing the world is not built for them. As various Black 
       men and boys open themselves up to the camera, the 
       emotional landscape of racism and its affects on them are 
       revealed. Historical parallels are drawn while discussing 
       the centuries long obsession with the bodies of Black men.
       Also at play is the narrowing window of what attainable 
       success looks like for Black youth as stereotyped images 
       of professional athletes and celebrities continue to be 
       perpetuated, while other avenues often remain overlooked. 
       Also examined is the systemic inequality prevalent in the 
       American educational system. Having been proportionally 
       denied the quality education experienced by many of their 
       non-Black peers, the achievement gap even for Black youth 
       becomes evident as early as kindergarten. The cycle of the
       school-to-prison pipeline is evident in educational 
       environments where negative messaging about Blacks boys' 
       worth remains frequently unchallenged. Interspersed 
       throughout the documentary is archival footage of police 
       brutality, protesting, and historic lynchings to 
       historically demonstrate the ways in which the voices of 
       Black men have been ignored and devalued for successive 
       generations. When speaking about ways in which to break 
       thee various cycles, several Black men hold up the beauty 
       of a healthy relationship with a caring adult. Though 
       societal fear and negativity exist in reaction to their 
       very existence, the power of love can serve as a healer 
       for a variety of traumas. Black Boys is a film for this 
       historical moment and beyond.
