#blackAF creator Kenya Barris is making the move from fictionalized documentary to a real documentary on high-profile attorney Ben Crump.
In the works for the past several pivotal months, the as-yet untitled film on the lawyer is set to stream on Netflix next year. Well known to cable news viewers and more than a few chastened police departments and delinquent corporations, the Tallahassee, Florida-based Crump is currently representing the grieving families of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, among others.
The documentary will be produced by Barris and Oscar winner Roger Ross Williams. Hot off two Emmy nominations for the Michelle Obama doc Becoming (read our review here), Nadia Hallgren is set to direct the Crump project. Hallgren will also produce, along with Lauren Cioffi and EP Geoff Martz, co-founder with Williams of production shingle One Story Up.
Production on the project includes the much-watched June 8 memorial for Floyd.
