Our first feature documentary follows Grammy-winning musician Fantastic Negrito as he faces his demons and the mental health crisis here in Oakland. As he creates his most personal album yet, Negrito searches far and wide to answer the question: in a sick society, how do you keep from going crazy?

Featuring Rosario Dawson and D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai (Hulu’s Reservation Dogs), this new series follows four working-class characters in Oakland in all their struggles and absurdities redefining what’s “normal” as we come out of the pandemic.

Kamau Bell, and friends, we are throwing a May Day show to support some of our most vulnerable neighbors and challenge injustice during this crisis and beyond.
