I’m a teacher, organizer, and educational theorist living in Indianapolis.

new documentary

Along with TheKingTrill, I co-directed up a documentary— “Across Enemy Lines: Shaka A. Shakur”— about the New Afrikan Political Prisoner, theorist, and organizer, which debuted worldwide in early December 2025. The film was nominated for the 2nd annual “I, Immigrant International Film Festival” and reviewed in the Hampton Institute. The documentary is free at The People’s Forum YouTube page.

“Why is Shaka A. Shakur is still imprisoned, given that he has already served the entirety of the sentence for his 2002 conviction? Why is he incarcerated in Virginia—hundreds of miles away from his family—even though he was not convicted of a federal crime? “Across Enemy Lines” investigates and answers these questions, recounting the story of this New Afrikan Political Prisoner, revolutionary organizer, author, and theorist. Told through the words of Shaka, his wife Akili Shakur, and various friends and supporters, this documentary is more than a story of one man and the communities most directly-impacted by his unjust incarceration; it is a snapshot of the mass incarceration system, the evolution of the Black/New Afrikan nation and resistance.”
