PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO CHECK THIS OUT........

A War For Your Soul-Birmingham version from Erisai Films on Vimeo.


This video was created to inspire young at-risk African-Americans not to fall prey to some of the problems they face in society.

This video should not to be used to divide people (Black & White).
This video should not be used to criticize all aspects of hip-hop culture.
This video should not be used to degrade the millions of children that do not have the proper educational resources offered in their community.
This video should not be used to scare Black youth into a position of change.
This video should not be used to allow the rest of society to escape from their responsibility, to reach back and help with financial & academic support.

If used properly, this video will allow our youth to see some of the horrific conditions that our ancestors fought through & some of the horrific conditions we face today.

All Americans should be upset at the alarming homicide rate in many cities.
Many have asked "Why should I care?"...but can you imagine, the first person to find a cure for cancer, could be living in one of these areas, that we are afraid to reach out and help.
The use of the voice "Master of Darkness" represents the abstract concept of evil.

**THIS VIDEO IS NOT FOR SALE & I AM NOT ACCEPTING DONATIONS FOR THE FILM, I ONLY WANT THE MESSAGE TO REACH AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT ANY HIDDEN POLITICAL OR FINANCIAL AGENDA.

A filmmaker and public speaker, Reggie Bullock is a vibrant voice and accomplished role model for the youth of today. Born as the eldest of two children in the Bronx, New York, his parents, Melray and Reginald Bullock, were native North Carolinians who raised their family during the 60's civil rights movement.
In 1980 Reggie graduated from Eastern Connecticut State University. In 1982 Reginald began his professional career working with students who were academically at-risk at St Thomas More School in Connecticut, where he began developing educational short films to maintain the interest of his students in various subject matters.
Eight years later, Reginald became the Multicultural Director at Norwich Free Academy, working with minority students, serving as a liaison between students and the local community. From 1986-1998 Reginald also served as an adjunct professor at Eastern Connecticut State University. In 1997, Reginald received the Norwich NAACP Youth Leadership Award for his exemplary leadership as a volunteer counselor in the Norwich, CT community.

On March 15, 2009, Reggie’s short film "A War For Your Soul" was independently released on the internet, and has catapulted as a “stirring, epic and inspirational” video for today’s generation”. Over 800,000 internet viewers have watched “A War For Your Soul” in five short months. The video has garnered praise from mayors, city leaders, youth and civic organizations from Ghana, Israel, the Caribbean, U.K. and other countries for sparking dialogue in encouraging adults to play a more active role in educating children.

Reggie is currently working on an epic dvd, "A History of African American Dance". This short film contains never before seen footage of dance, from historic icons to ground breaking innovators.

Reggie is currently active as a noted speaker, conducting speaking engagements throughout the country. Reggie also serves as a board member and partner of 'Speak The Dream Foundation, Inc.' a non-profit mentoring and teaching organization that conducts workshops designed to teach parents and children to pursue their dreams with confidence and passion. Reggie is also strategically partnered with anythingurban.com.

OMG!!! I know I'm late, but I was just browsing thru and this video brought me to tears. I'm showing this to my grands and the whole fam,because I have those that think the n-word is hep and I'm "not with it". Gene you are right this should be show in the prisons, because that's where our young me are, sadly. I'm sitting here trying to get over this ignorant man calling my President a lie and stumble across this video, So you know I'm not ready to mix with other people right now!

My first reaction to this video was we sure are some strong people. To have suffered through all of that.....and we are STILL here. That was one of the most powerful , moving and honest things I`ve seen in a long long time. It should be mandatory viewing in every school and church in America. But to ensure that the ones who really need to see it see it. It need to be shown in every jailhouse and prison from coast to coast. Very well done video. and the Brotha hit the nail right on da head. Thanks Bert!

Remembering Q

E.FM Radio Spotlight

Quincy Jones is thoroughly entwined in the musical background of my young adulthood. A genius of unique quality. I have been posting blogs and music throughout the years and decided to embark on the arduous but satisfying task of gathering some of it to remember the excellent legacy that he left.
