Soul Food Junkies
Synopsis
Baffled by his dad's unwillingness to change his traditional soul food diet in the face of a health crisis, Byron Hurt sets out to learn more about this rich culinary tradition and its relevance to black cultural identity. He discovers that the love affair that his dad and his community have with soul food is deep-rooted, complex, and in some tragic cases, deadly.
