The film debuts\u00a0Monday, November 15 (10:00-11:30 p.m. ET\/PT), commemorating Gordon Parks birthday (November 30) and will debut on HBO and be available to stream on HBO Max.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For decades, Gordon Parks brought the human struggle for dignity, justice, and&nbsp;the alienation of the Black community out of the shadows and to middle America on the pages of&nbsp;<em>LIFE<\/em>&nbsp;magazine from 1948 to 1972. As&nbsp;<em>LIFE&#8217;s<\/em>&nbsp;first Black photographer, his camera became an instrument of change &#8211; &#8220;a weapon&#8221; as he called it &#8211; to challenge the systems of racism and poverty &#8211; and to empower Black Americans with images that conveyed honor,&nbsp;resilience,&nbsp;and beauty. Directed by John Maggio (HBO&#8217;s <em>Mr. Saturday Night),<\/em>&nbsp;the feature documentary is executive produced by Kasseem &#8220;Swizz Beatz&#8221; Dean and Alicia Keys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The life and work of Gordon Parks remains strikingly relevant today. <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/2021\/06\/tribeca-2021-a-choice-of-weapons-inspired-by-gordon-parks-film-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A Choice Of Weapons<\/a>: Inspired by Gordon Parks<\/em>&nbsp;explores the power of images to inspire a new generation to work for social change. Through the lens of&nbsp;three contemporary photographers, we see Gordon&#8217;s legacy come to life. Devin Allen whose photograph &#8220;Baltimore Uprising&#8221; of the Freddie Gray protests was featured on the cover of&nbsp;<em>Time Magazine<\/em>; LaToya Ruby Frazier who for five years followed the Flint, Michigan water crisis and most recently photographed Breonna Taylor&#8217;s family for&nbsp;<em>Vanity Fair<\/em>; and Jamel Shabazz whose photographs on the streets of New York form a visual history of the hip hop era while simultaneously presenting affirming images for his community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other interviewees reflecting&nbsp;on Parks&#8217; lasting impact&nbsp;include: Jelani Cobb, staff writer&nbsp;<em>The New Yorker<\/em>; Anderson Cooper, journalist and friend of Parks; Ava DuVernay, filmmaker; Nelson George, writer and filmmaker; Kareem Abdul Jabbar, writer activist; Spike Lee, filmmaker; Khalil Muhammad, historian and professor at Harvard Kennedy School; Bryan Stevenson, executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative;&nbsp; Richard Roundtree, actor; Michal Raz-Russo, former associate curator, The Art Institute of Chicago; and &nbsp;Darren Walker, president Ford Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A Choice Of Weapons<\/em>&nbsp;also&nbsp;features a compelling overview of the Black American experience as told through Parks&#8217; own work and traces America&#8217;s Civil Rights movement as portrayed through his lens.&nbsp; From his prolific, photographic series of everyday Black Americans, his decades of magazine work, to composing music, writing memoirs and novels, to directing <em>Shaft<\/em> in 1971, Parks was a multifaceted trailblazer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An official selection of the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival, <em>A Choice Of Weapons,<\/em> pays homage to a true American legend whose work, by its beauty and import, stands at the pinnacle of socio-historical documentation of the 20th century while also serving as an empowering springboard for contemporary and future artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HBO Documentary Films&#8217; presents <em>A Choice Of Weapons: Inspired By Gordon Parks<\/em>\u00a0directed and produced by John Maggio; executive produced by Alicia Keys, Jelani Cobb, Kasseem &#8220;Swizz Beatz&#8221; Dean, Jacqueline Glover, Peter W.
