Synopsis:
'The Unexpected Journey' is a documentary about men and women who have experienced racial profiling. Interestingly, some of the people whom I interviewed had as children taken part in the Black Panther Party's social programs to provide free breakfast to children.
"When I was growing up, the Black Panther Party was all about care and love. And mainly enlightened African-American males." (Thomas Turner).
I found this to be a very interesting paradigm considering that I embarked on this topic because I believed that the Panthers were a militant group of people. It was not until I did my own research of the group that I found that their image was very different. They actually set up their own newspaper, an after-school for children, free clinics and free breakfast programs. Appalled by some of the information I discovered, I felt a need to explore what other things had been censored from the public along the way. It triggered a whole bunch of inquires about what else was going on in the world that I did not know about.
