Kevin Epps directs and hosts the "hardcore hip-hop documentary" Straight Outta Hunters' Point. This searing, deeply troubling program carries the audience to the poverty, crime, and grunge-infested borough of Hunter's Point, a neighborhood of the mostly-affluent San Francisco, California. Epps reveals how the 'rap battles' conducted by cutthroat street gangstas have torn this already-struggling community to bloody shreds - with slim odds for a socioeconomic rebound.
