The American Black Film Festival kicked off its second day by showcasing films in their Voices of the
Culture category. This is a non-competitive section of narrative short films directed by persons of African
descent. One film in particular that captivated the audience’s attention was a short film titled Port of a
Prince, written and directed by JR Aristide. This film follows a young Haitian boy who must decide if
joining a gang is the right path for him.
