The N-Word

[complexity]

What you think?

Author Nelson George?s new eighty five minute documentary "The N-Word" examines the gravity and different usage of the infamous word via interviews with Russell Simmons, Chuck D., Quincy Jones, and others.

"It?s a word that?s been seared into the American psyche", says director Todd Larkins. The UrbanWorks production exposes different views within the black community regarding the often very emotional subject. "It?s used to insult, enrage, demean, and oddly enough endear", says Larkin. "It was a subject that begged for deeper examination."

"The N-Word" highlights generation gaps when it comes to nigger, for example Quincy Jones thinks it should be abolished and Russell Simmons feels the word has transformed into a non racial term of endearment. "The N-Word" DVD, executive produced by Nelson George and produced by Helena Echegoyen, hits retail Jan. 24th. Nelson George is a writer and filmmaker of twenty five years. He wrote the best selling novel One Woman Short as well as five others and eight non fiction books.
