"In
Hampton Virginia, a small town in the South, Antwan Sedgewick a
twenty year old African American, celebrated O. J. Simpson's acquittal
with his friends. At 4:10AM he was found by a police officer, hanging
by the neck on the grounds of the Hampton Coliseum.
The police
ruled the death a suicide.
Antwan's family
and friend's believe it was a homicide."
This harrowing,
HBO produced documentary feature showcases some of the boldest and
most powerful music in Jody Gray's catalogue. Whether contrasting
lush, deeply emotional orchestral textures with stark ensemble drumming
or a poignant, muted trumpet blowing a eulogy beside hypnotic, trance
grooves, the music perfectly mirrors the film's dark heart and prayers
of hope. Gray's orchestral and vocal collaborations with brilliant
Chant Artist, Earthman, which bookend the production, are simply
stunning!
