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. The use of the voice "Master of Darkness" represents the abstract concept of evil.

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 condemn the millions of Black youth that are striving for excellence in their classrooms and communities.

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 our precious 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.

This video, if used properly, 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, that Black children are being murdered in Chicago, Detroit, Birmingham, Norfolk, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Seattle, Philadelphia, New York and many other cities throughout the nation.

All Americans should be upset, that in many of the above mentioned cities, schools are struggling for proper funding, thus leading to an unfair start in our academic based society.

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.

Some of the images from the past can be unsettling, but they are used to show all Americans how far we have come, and how far we still have to go. This film is being strategically placed in school systems, churches and youth orgs around the country, in hope of helping a lost generation of kids that we as Americans have forgotten. As fellow Americans, we must continue to love each other, and take that love and spread it to the rest of the world. Peace & Love - Erisai Films www.myspace.com/erisaifilms **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.
