“In the Hive”

By Brad

Politic 365’s Elesha Barnette reports on a new documentary project produced by the nonprofit organization One Economy, which works to connect unserved and underserved communities to technology:

“In the Hive” is the newest film from veteran writer, producer and director Robert Townsend, and it that tells the true story of Vivian Sanders, a cook at an alternative school who took on the responsibility of educating boys that no one else would.

Actors Loretta Devine, Michael Clarke Duncan and Vivica A. Fox star in “In The Hive,” which takes its name from a North Carolina school that focuses on technology. Newcomer Jonathan McDaniel stars as Xtra Keys, a gang member who is in and out of prison. The story is about his “last chance.”
