Byron Hurt’s 10 minute film,  Barack & Curtis: Manhood, Power, & Respect highlights the contrasting styles of manhood exhibited by Barack Obama and rapper/mogul Curtis Jackson, aka 50 Cent. His goal is to prod you to think deeply about the range of black masculinity that exists between the two. This range of black masculinity oftentimes gets overlooked in favor of simplistic stereotypes of black manhood. Barack & Curtis is an introduction to a much more complex topic.
