Miami Vice Pepsi Ad - 1985 - Full Length
Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

Year of the Bull (a High Football Documentary film)
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009
(Highlights only) This documentary paints a compelling portrait of Taurean Charles, a high school football player for Miami’s Northwestern Bulls. Located in Miami’s impoverished Liberty neighborhood, Northwestern high has a history as a breeding ground for college football and NFL players. Led to believe that football is his only ticket out, Charles focuses all his efforts on earning a place on a Division I collegiate team, letting his grades suffer in the process. But if Charles can’t raise his SAT score to meet the NCAA’s standards, he might never escape his inner city life. As Charles struggles to meet demands from his coaches, family, and society, he wonders who he can actually trust. YEAR OF THE BULL reveals the immense pressures facing poor black youth, and exposes the violent and cruel methods used by coaches to push young athletes.
