"Homeboys for Change" with O'Neal Compton

This 9 minute documentary was shot on the Thursday before the South Carolina Democratic presidential primary by Charleston filmmaker, David Boatwright.

"Homeboys for Change" is a group of good ole boys who are dead serious about their politics and their pork barbeque—which they have temporarily renamed BarackObamaQue. ONeal and some of his friends in South Carolina founded the volunteer organization because they believe with all their hearts that Barack Obama should be President of the United States. The Homeboys cooked for Obama staff and volunteers almost every night for the two weeks leading up to Obama's Landslide win in that state.

BarackObamaQue was a brilliant idea. Having seen the Homeboys in action, and getting the campaign volunteers reactions to their cooking, I recommend to anyone any where near you to stop by and have a bite. I hope we see the Home Boys for Change on the road with the Obama campaign in Texas where they love their BBQ almost as much as the Homeboys in South Carolina. Oh, by the way, the poilitical comentary is good stuff too!
