Legendary director Allen Hughes stopped by Sway In The Morning to talk about his new documentary-series ‘Dear Mama’.
The story of Afeni Shakur and Tupac is one of passion, intelligence, and revolutionary spirit. As a female leader in the macho atmosphere of the Black Panther Party, Afeni became a feminist icon in the ’70s. Tupac, on the other hand, revolutionized the rap industry through his political philosophy and powerful poetry, becoming a global sensation and symbol for modern Black activism. Their story not only highlights the possibilities within revolutionary movements, but also the contradictions within United States society throughout the rise of Hip Hop culture in its most extravagant decade.
Experience the powerful docuseries, ‘Dear Mama’, which is both an audio and visual masterpiece. Enter a world where Tupac’s lyrics become mantras of passion and politics, while beats shift seamlessly into soundscapes. This innovative docuseries eschews traditional chronology, connecting mother and son, 1970s and 1990s, black activism and hip hop, to reveal how much has and hasn’t changed in the struggle for human rights. Through its unique technique, the past and present converge, melting time away to present one definitive portrait of a global superstar and the woman who shaped him, forever linked by love and fate. Don’t miss this journey that will leave you inspired and enlightened.
