DMX: DON’T TRY TO UNDERSTAND

WORLD PREMIERE With rare access, this film takes us through the final years in the life of Earl “DMX” Simmons. Documenting his many sides— from the charismatic performer on Simmons’s “It’s Dark as Hell and Hot” tour and raucous bad-boy behavior, to the doting father who takes time to reach out to young men in need—director Christopher Frierson delivers a three-dimensional portrait of the man behind the rap persona, struggling against his darkest demons, striving to keep himself and his family whole.  – Karen McMullen

This screening will be followed by a Q&A with Director Christopher Frierson, Clark Slater and Producer Sean Gordon-Loebl
