Straight To The Point

An Unscripted Series

“Straight to the Point” is a two-part documentary series exploring politics through the communities of two local NC Barbershops. In this Participatory documentary, our protagonists, Jordan and Chris, explore their local communities to understand why and what black men their age use as their basis for participation and non-participation in the 2024 upcoming election. The intimacy of a barbershop allows strangers from the same community to share lived experiences and viewpoints specific to their community.
