Sobre IBD

In 1971, Khalid Muhammad spoke out against the violence and drugs that plagued the Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn community. Tragically he lost his life as a result, soon after, a bitter, violent vortex encircles the lives of his family. Despite his wife Waseema’s struggles against all odds to hold the family down, it wasn’t enough. Their oldest son, Mustapha, resorts to selling drugs; their son Rasheed gets caught up robbing drug dealers and their daughter Shaheeda, falls prey to the crack-cocaine and prostitution that ravages the once proud and thriving Bushwick-Hylan Projects. To make matters worse, Rasheed and his crew rob a larger than life stash of cash and drugs from one of Brooklyn’s top dope pushers. In the complex web of events that take place next, Rasheed unwittingly stumbles on a break involving his father’s death. The web is further tangled by the betrayal of his lover, and best friend hindering his quest to avenge the persons responsible. Meanwhile his crew, and family unite attempting to break the clutches of a psychotic drug king-pen named Carlos.  In the all too thrilling, Houdini-like finish, his father’s past threatens to hold onto secrets that may one day set Rasheed free from his demons. But all is not lost when Khalid’s last words are revealed; an Arabic translation for the melodramatic lunacy of Rasheed’s crazed world-the only clue...Dunya!
