Live From The Front
Directed by reg e. gaines
Fri & Sat, May 11 & 12; 8 pm
Presented as part of the Hip-Hop Theater Festival: Bay Area 2007

Despite all the coverage of the Iraq War, it remains an “over there” event. But storytelling succeeds where the media fails in making remote events real. Journalist, musician and poetry slam champion Jerry Quickley tells of his travels in Iraq as an embedded journalist during “shock and awe.” Addressing the war from a generation hip-hop perspective—Quickley delivers the Iraq War in a way you won’t soon forget.
