King Blvd

Synopsis

"As it stands, there are more than 900 streets across the country named after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and of those streets, many are located in blighted neighborhoods. This is a common theme that is well-known among the Black community in the USA. It’s such a common trend, that comedians such as Chris Rock have poked fun at the issue in his “Bigger and Blacker” stand-up routine. King Blvd is a fictional movie about “Joshua”, a young man who lives on MLK BLVD, who attempts to transform his community into a place that really honors Dr. King. Joshua’s efforts are challenged as a Real Estate Development Firm eyes his MLK Blvd as a new home for a state-of-the-art Sports Stadium. Joining him on his important and hilarious journey are old friends and new allies."
