LOUISIANA MADE FILM SERIES, PRESENTED BY LOUISIANA ENTERTAINMENT, A DIVISION OF LEDPresented by Films at Manship Featuring a Q&A with Director Zac Manuel
Genre: Documentary
In the 1990s and early 2000s, New Orleans was the epicenter of Southern rap, thanks to influential artists Juvenile, B.G., and Soulja Slim. While Juvenile maintains a thriving career, the other two faced tragic outcomes: Soulja Slim was murdered in 2003 just as his career was taking off, and B.G. was sentenced to 14 years in federal prison in 2012. Their sons—Young Juve, T.Y., and Lil’ Soulja Slim—met as teenagers and, inspired by their shared legacies, formed the group Ghetto Children, named after a Juvenile song. This documentary is an intimate portrait of Black boyhood transforming into manhood, shaped by their fathers' legacies. The film explores how these young men strive to carve out their own identities in the music world, navigating the weight of generational expectations, the families they build, and the culture that surrounds them.
Directed by: Zac Manuel
Starring: Young Juve, T.Y., and Lil’ Soulja Slim
