In the film, which premiered in New York City it opens with a rapper speaking of how he is not a role model yet he speaks on that which he sees and is surrounded by in his environment. It then continues to show interviews by the likes of such authors such as Omar Tyree, Michael Eric Dyson, Caroline McGill, T. Styles, Terry McMillan, Treasure Blue, K'wan and more. What these authors tell are the foundations to why they author books and how it affects or doesn't the society to which we live in. We also hear from the minds of creative designers such as Davida Baldwin as well as vendors that sell the books that we love to love or hate.
Tales of "tits and ass" being all over book covers, misspelled words and copycat "rap songs" are praised as well as frowned upon. One author even gets personal and speak of his living situation as a child and how he brings it with true grit and passion to the novels that he writes.
This film is something that we needed to unleash to mainstream as many only see a one dimensional side of the literary world. Authors and readers alike will now understand what goes on behind the pages and even moreso Behind Those Books!!
