THE HONEST STRUGGLE addresses our concern about the fragility of democracy as well as dealing with equality for all races in America. Here's what it is about:
After over 25 years of incarceration, a Muslim convert. Sadiq (Darrell Davis) re-enters society in the Southside of Chicago to face the same streets that ruined his life. The film is a raw portrait of a man struggling with his past as a gang chief while trying to survive an honest life and redefine himself in a world in which he feels no belonging.
Hopeful and poignant, director Justin Mashouf tells Davis’ story — from gang chief to Muslim convert — while commenting on America’s mass incarceration epidemic, and criminalization of communities of color.
