Check Out “The Last Black Man in San Francisco”

Watch and support here!

Filmmakers Jimmie Fails and Joe Talbot take a sobering look at the decline of San Francisco’s Black population in The Last Black Man in San Francisco. The SF natives have started a Kickstarter campaign to raise enough money to make a feature film on Fails’ experience as a Black kid who watched his family lose their home in the Fillmore District, and the displacement that followed. “This isn’t just a story for Black people or for people who lost their homes,” he says. “It’s a universal story for anybody that feels like an outsider in their hometown.”
