The Crisis

Every week in the Midwest, we lose fathers, brothers, and sons to a preventable tragedy. Black men are dying from cancer at alarming rates, not because we lack medical solutions, but because of deeply rooted barriers to healthcare access and awareness. In cities like Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City, our communities are being devastated by prostate, colon, liver, blood, and lung cancers. Behind each statistic is a family without their provider, protector, and rock. This isn't just a health crisis – it's a community crisis that demands immediate action.

The Vision

Save the Homies isn't just another documentary – it's a movement. Through powerful storytelling, we're creating a narrative that resonates deeply with our community. We're taking cameras into barbershops where real conversations happen, into living rooms where families share their stories of loss and triumph, and into medical offices where myths are shattered. This documentary will serve as a bridge between our community and the healthcare system, transforming the way Black men think about and act on their health.

The Community

Across the Midwest, 1.7 million Black men form the backbone of our communities. They are business owners, community leaders, family men, and essential workers. Yet many avoid crucial medical screenings until it's too late. Our documentary reaches them where they are – in churches, barbershops, community centers, and social media. We're not just making a film; we're creating a cultural shift that will ripple through generations.

The Impact

Change happens when stories touch hearts and create action. Our documentary catalyzes a larger movement. Each screening event connects directly to local healthcare providers offering immediate screening opportunities. Our mobile platform turns awareness into action, allowing viewers to schedule screenings instantly. Revenue from distribution rights, screening events, and educational licensing ensures sustainable impact, while corporate partnerships amplify our reach.

The Innovation

Our approach breaks new ground by combining authentic storytelling with immediate action. We're not just documenting problems – we're capturing solutions in real time. Through our partnership network, viewers can move from watching the documentary to scheduling a screening in a single step. Our digital platform tracks impact in real-time, showing how many men pledge to get screened and follow through on those pledges.
