Syracuse in focus (SIF)

Collard Greens (comfort food)

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.’
