Plot summary

The largest black community in the country started as a safe haven for escaped slaves but has more recently been labelled as one of the biggest hubs of pimping and human trafficking in the nation. "This Is North Preston" illustrates how the town of 4,000 has dealt with generations of pimp culture, economic struggle, limited government resources, violence, and constant systemic racism. Artist "Just Chase" paints a picture of his life in crime and the events that made him get out out of the street life to chase his musical dreams. "This is North Preston" gains insight from respected community members, pimps, politicians, police and trafficking victims, all while pushing hope and a brighter future.

My family is partially from North Preston. What

My family is partially from North Preston. What the documentary does quite well is show how a few losers taint the reputation of an entire community. Its mostly a very tight community where everyone is interrelated somehow. Many families dont have proper deeds to their homes, its heir titles, so to some extent its hard for them to sell and leave. The racism is incredibly bad. Black communities often didnt receive proper municipal services (eg sewers, water, public transit), and it took until the 80s and even 90s to rectify. So getting to nearby halifax for work could be hard. But at least the families own their own homes. Unfortunately, the documentary seems designed to give the main character street cred for his rapping career. So his friends seem to glorify the pimp culture and the video soends entirely too much time highlighting them.

Had to watch this movie twice as I

Had to watch this movie twice as I was quite disturbed after the first viewing. The disregard for the consequences of these men made me quite upset after first. The more I watched, the more I at least understood the lack of options in their community. Would like to have seen more of the other side of the community but quite the access.

Worst documentary EVER! Nothing but a bunch of

Worst documentary EVER! Nothing but a bunch of losers blaming society for their problems and justifying the sex trafficking of women. Absolute garbage.
