What do Don Cornelius, actor Lee Thompson Young and hip-hop mogul Chris Lighty all have in common? They were all Black men who suffered with battles of depression...tragically ending in suicide.
And while their fatal stories made national headlines for a few short weeks, the public fleetingly moved on to the next cycle of news, business as usual. But when it comes to Black men, discussions about depression and suicide are hardly ever tackled in ways that are meaningful.
An upcoming indie documentary called “Face of Darkness” seeks to do just that. Directed by independent filmmakers Squeaky Moore and Kenneth “KT” Nelson, the doc chronicles the lives of three African-American men battling depression and uses the likes of Cornelius, Young and Lighty as a way to bring a face to a often faceless epidemic.
