Martin, Richard Pennington, D-Roc, Yemi Toure. A film about the pant sagging phenom and one of the ways Atlanta is trying to combat it. We hear from those who are outraged, and from those who are outraged that some others are outraged. Documentary 25 mins Saggin in The ATL is all about the Black Male Point of View on the saggin phenomenon.  it s filmed and produced by Black Men, in hopes that the rest of us will finally understand the myraid of emotions which surround this issue. I had a chance to sit down with one of the Producers of the Film and the Head of the Festival my friend Yemi Toure . Knowing Brother Yemi is a great patron of  the arts and one of my favorite sociologists;  I ask the real questions and Brother Yemi puts it on the table. He lets us pick it up, because we all own a part of it; regardless of what we think, we do.  Even I had to stand corrected and gladly so.  this short pod is quite enlightening on the entire situation around Saggin. Take a moment and listen to 5 minutes on why the future is walking around us everyday; and what we need to do to relate to it, now. Tomorrow we ll look at another segment of the festival program. complete with another short podcast segment from Brother Yemi our cultural curator for this weekends International Black Man Film Festival.
