Killing Beef (Cinedigm/Jay City) Documentary
Logline: After recovering from a near fatal shooting, former drug dealer and
award-winning journalist Samson Styles searches to find meaning in his life and
reconciliation with his shooter, in this meaningful journey that takes the form of a
life-lesson told to a young boy.
Synopsis: “Killing Beef” is a street term and is a double entendre. The beef is a
conflict often between young men and/or their crews. “Killing” beef can mean a
pattern of deadly violence - or it can mean a peaceful resolution of a conflict.
Black-on-black crime rooted in conflict continues to take the lives of too many
young black men across the country. Too many, this cycle of violence is senseless.
