On August 20, 2019 the Harlem Film institute celebrates its 20th anniversary, with the screening of a film i made more than 30 years ago. “No Place to Cry” stars Exonerated 5 Korey Wise, at the tender age of 12. In light of recent events we felt this film would be the perfect way to exalt our 20 years of serving independent filmmakers.
