We Need to Talk

I have had the honor of being Facebooks friends with Janks Morton for a couple of years now. He is by far my favorite documentarian and he asked me to do a review of his new documentary. Janks is bold and unapologetic about the misconception people push on others. I first saw, "What Black Men Think" after seeing a trailer on youtube several years ago.

It forced me to completely reevaluate how I read and process information provided by the media.

Recently he has released a new documentary called, "We Need to Talk".



It is gutsy and humbling at the same time. He asks numerous women about who their first love was, how old they were when they met them and how is worked out for them. The ages are varied, but one thing stayed the same...they didn't work out (except for one, I believe). He also interviews many women, asking them to talk about the choices they made in life regarding growing up, men, pregnancy and what they would change (to name a few). These conversations are deep, and painful, but also humbling and amazingly insightful. As I watched I cried and cried as one of the women describes her pain following her decision to abort her baby. I ached to hug each one.

This documentary is a MUST see for everyone young man and woman.
