Wake Forest alum creates "Peace Process"August 6, 2009 | Caron MyersDuring the 2009 National Black Theatre Festival, many film-makers are also in town who are screening their latest projects. One of those is Katina Parker, a 34-year-old Wake Forest University graduate who went on to get her MFA in film in Southern California. Parker spent the last 11 years in Los Angeles filming story after story on gang life. PEACE PROCESS is her latest work. It’s a story about a young man named Jabril Muhammad, a 17-year-old street-smart orphan and gifted poet. At the time Parker met him, Jabril was gang affiliated and was trying to figure out whether he wanted to join a gang. The film takes you through an “intervention” of sorts. In the end, you will have a better picture of how pervasive gang life is in communities throughout America and how one chance meeting changed the course of several lives.
