WHAT:

Most San Franciscans, even long-time residents, have never spent even
5 minutes in the notorious, conveniently isolated neighborhood known
as Hunters Point. Located south-east of Potrero Hill, Bayview Hunter's
Point is San Francisco's black ghetto that has for decades been
ravaged by devastating violence, drug use and poverty. This is the
much anticipated follow up to 2003's groundbreaking, and widely
acclaimed documentary that presented often disturbing, sometimes
hilarious, always engaging street-level glimpses of an area most city
residents avoid at any cost. In this completely new film Epps reveals
anew, with the unrelenting eye of an embedded war journalist, the
present state of the community that he still calls home. Dir: Kevin
Epps. 2011. Digital. 80 mins. Nightly at 7pm & 8:45pm, plus Sat. +
Sun. at (3:15) & 5pm.
