ThyBlackMan.com) Coming off a successful series start with “Wilmington on Fire”, BLK Docs, an ongoing initiative from Speller Street Films and The Luminal Theater in partnership with Seed&Spark, continues its focus on publicly exhibiting documentary films specifically made by
Black documentary filmmakers with its second monthly entry, a multi-layered story that is as much about redemption and society as it is about notorious acts.
In “Miles in the Life: The Story of a BMF Drug Trafficker,” we meet Jabari Hayes, who grew up in crack-era Brooklyn during its 1980’s epidemic, with his mother falling victim to the narcotic. While Hayes eventually escaped to St. Louis, Missouri to live with his father, and eventually became a star student athlete at Morehouse College, graduating summa cum laude, he found himself once more at the center of the drug game.
