Stand - A Film by Tavis Smiley

Please watch Stand the Movie this Sunday, May 24th,
on TV One at 9PM ET/PT, 8PM CT. The film marks Tavis
Smiley's directorial debut.

As America approached the historic presidential election,
the national dialogue and debate intensified about race
relations, politics and the legacy of the civil rights movement.
Tavis Smiley dissects this national discourse with ten Black
male friends over several days during a special road trip
through Memphis and Nashville. STAND reveals the journey of
a unique group of scholars, musicians, comedians and social
critics as they gather for a rare reflection of brotherhood
while confronting their own roles and responsibilities as
pioneers of social progress.
