Documentary filmmaker Byron Hurt’s newest effort ‘Soul Food Junkies’ will broadcast nationally on PBS Monday night. The film is a critical celebration of comfort food and its effects upon families (particularly his own).
Soul Food Junkies’ was screened this summer in conjunction with Imagenation in NYC.
Hurt visited Syracuse a few years ago to screen his film ‘Hip Hop: Beyond Beats & Rhymes.’

About this time last year we saw Byron Hurt’s film “Hip Hop: Beyond Beats & Rhymes.” The filmmaker and anti-sexist advocate (pictured above) recently came to Syracuse to discuss his film during a film festival at the Community Folk Art Center. We asked him if he got any backlash from the film and what was the genesis for the project.
