2014 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

Jennifer’s documentary, currently entitled Spirit of the Times, tells the story of two brothers, Rashie Abdul Samad and Sharif Abdur Rahim, who built a 40-year business and family legacy using raw materials and the black liberation spirit. In its exploration of the brothers from idealistic youth to local and global traders, the film will be used to inspire the disenfranchised with the belief that they can improve their personal economies and build their communities. Screenings will be followed by open forum discussions about the role of culture and economy in the black community, and will provide networking opportunities to further the potential success of black businesses.
