Locked away at seventeen, released at twenty-eight — the system was never meant to heal him, but Malcolm found God. Now he has to find his way home through forgiveness.
FIVE is the story of Malcolm — a man returning to Los Angeles after eleven years in prison, carrying his faith, his guilt, and a family that hasn't healed. It's a story about what it means to seek forgiveness when you're not sure you deserve it.
Stories about Black men, Islam, and redemption — told with honesty and without spectacle — are rare. Your support makes this one possible.
Directed by Duran Jones and starring J. Alphonse Nicholson and Lauren E. Banks, FIVE is currently in pre-production and seeking the resources to bring this story to audiences across the country.
