Ghetto Physics

SYNOPSIS: Ghetto Physics explores how power is wielded in the world through the examination of the interplay between Pimps and Hos. From street corners to Wall Street, on a subtle and globally consequential level, we witness today’s modern pimps selling their vision of business while the women do all of the work.

Through the use of documentary footage, animation, satire and dramatization, this film features notable thought leaders including Dr. Cornel West, Ice-T, KRS-One, Too Short, John Perkins, Cynthia McKinney, William H. Arntz (co-director), and Norman Lear.

From the streets to the classroom to the boardroom, Ghetto Physics details the worlds where the game is being played by the rules of the oldest profession known to man. The power interactions in politics and economics are not typically referred to as a game, but this is exactly what is taking place, and using the language of the street is a simplified way of describing such power dynamics.

Ghetto Physics helps you become more aware of these dynamics and play them from a position of personal power. Themes of empowerment and hope emerge creating awareness of “the game” and empowering individuals to choose the role they play in every situation they encounter.
