Published on Apr 11, 2012

Detroit's Native Son: From Z8ne Street Thug to Prison to Community Leader is a documentary that brings to life the Yusef "Bunchy" Shakur story which has captivated audiences through his compelling books "The Window 2 My Soul" (2008) & "My Soul Looks Back" (2012). His story captures the essence of what it was like for a misguided, gang banging, teenage boy who was raised by an alcoholic mother, the mean streets of Detroit and an incarcerated father whom he met while in prison. Shakur's story serves as an example of redemption, hope and transformation from deep within the belly of Detroit.Despite being socially rejected by society after serving 9 years in prison, he ultimately emerged as a college graduate, proud father, business owner, author, speaker, well respected community organizer & activist dedicated to RESTORING THE NEIGHBOR BACK TO THE 'HOOD. Listen to those who respect him & know him best as they convey the importance of his testimony.

    I myself went to Yusef's documentary premiere, it was excellent. I enjoyed it we cried, we laughed. Mr Shukur himself broke down and cried, because its hard staying on the straight and narrow when you want what youre"e down and out and youre trying to make it work, on a positive level. Yusef need's all the positive support he can get.

    We clicked DAY ONE in DC 2 YEARS AGO. I had to speak about the atrocities of the system against my Yusuf who wanted him not to receive a 4 year degree because I had no work and had to go to the system. Bunchy taught me how to let it all hang out at the right time NOT JUST TO PHOTO OPS BUT FOLKS THAT CAN help us change the system. I love you deeply as if you my son PEACE AND BLESSINGS
